Zipp 202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher V3 Road Wheel Front

Zipp 202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher V3 Road Wheel Front. The next evolution of the Zipp Firecrest is upon us, with all new hubs for improved durability and performance. This update to the groundbreaking Firecrest rim shape for unstoppable performance with the new and improved durable and versatile 77177D hubset for a wheelset that's ready to help you perform at your very best. The 202 Firecrest rim shape is one of the lightest, best handling, stiffest climbing wheels on the market. Thee Zipp 202 Firecrest retains the classic 32mm rim depth of its predecessor and now has a wider 25.4mm max rim width, thanks to its Firecrest profile. The Firecrest rim shape improves stability by moving the wheel's center of pressure to sit almost directly over the steering axis, where wind induced steering torque has a minimal effect. It produces similar to better aerodynamics than most 46 66mm V section rims, especially in the crosswinds, and rolls faster and handles better than classic road wheels. The 77177 hubset brings improved stiffness and durability over the hubset found on the previous generation of hubs, with wider flanges and a bigger axle. There's also no longer a need to set a bearing preload, and the bearings are also better protected from the elements, which means less wear and maintenance. A new improved quick release skewer also improves wheels retention and a more ergonomic lever for easier use.
