Zipp Firecrest 404 rebuild

Zipp 404 rebuild

Apparently there is a durability problem with some of the older Zipp hubs.  I rebuilt this pair of 404 Firecrest wheels with Chris King R45 hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes back in January and I have done three more sets just like it since then.

If you have a set of Firecrests with hub issues feel free to give me a call to discuss options.    Zipp makes one of the best carbon rims on the market.  Don’t let them sit around collecting dust, they have a lot more life left in them
