welcome to yesterday... those silver hubs were whack!

Just happened to me last week. Luckily I was not on it and just moving to start a trainer ride. There was no weight on it and all of a sudden I heard this loud pop. It was strange as hell luckily SRAM is making good on it. Very interesting timing though.

Here is what it looked like.

2 of my friends had the very same issue...

glad I sold those :D

This will be fun.

Pretty sure that's the hub on my 808s. If remedy is to replace the hub, who covers the cost to rebuild the wheel? Can't find this on the recall notice or Sram/Zipp websites.

I ride Felt.

I have the black hub on my Zipp 101s from 2012. Is it part of the recall?

that is not the recalled version of the 88, that looks like second gen, like on the 2012 fc 808s, ie flange cover is much smaller than the recalled version

Anyone know if they cover the removal of the old hub and installation of the new hub?

Checked my wheels. Front 808 has the older? hub with carbon fiber flange cover. Rear 808 has the same hub with Z on the flange. Guess I need to contact Zipp and confirm whether this purely front hub, or if it's rear hubs too.

Interesting. I had this happen to the rear, drive-side flange of 2013 Zipp 303's with the black hubs a 1/2 mile after leaving a rest stop out on a t-shirt ride with some friends. Decided to rebuild front and rear wheels with DT Swiss 240s straight pull hubs resulting in a stronger, and slightly lighter wheelset and seeing this, now thinking I need to do the same with the wife's 303 wheelset.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This cannot be. In the last thread about Zipp hub quality, everyone dismissed Zipp's long history of shitty hubs. Everything is always fixed with the latest revision--well, until that revision becomes the old revision because the new revision fixes problems.

That makes it all the more scary. My bad though...it looked the same to me but it is on 2012 FC 404 there Eagle eye. :-) Either way though SRAM/Zipp made it right with me just glad I was not actually riding it.

probably the prelude to the next.................. :)

I need to check mine at home

These are the old hubs, from 2008-2010.

exactly... only took them what?!?! 5 years for the recall??!?!

if u google the web u can read about the issue with their hubs in multiple forums...

Looking at the zipp website the 88 is used on the front only.

I have a Felt Special edition 808 - right from around that time. Have to check it. thanks for posting.

Yikes, just called and left a message for my LBS, I have those hubs.

One example of why I'm a big fan of hand built wheels. I'm a little POed Zipp stopped selling rims to consumers like Enve still does. You can still get custom Zipps from some builders like Wheelbuilder.com. My first Zipp was a dimpled 404 laced to a White Industries hub with silver spokes...very flashy!

and apparently used on more recent model up to 2012... Just called re: my 2011/2012 vintage 303 tubular, and the rep confirmed it.

Funny enough i haven't trusted this wheel for a while as there was a very faint noise coming from the front hub. Probably unrelated, but at least i get to solve that issue as well.

Only downside is that i have to pry the damn tubular off of the tire...

anyone know what hubs were on the first gen FC clinchers? these had silver hubs.

SRAM is requesting you have your LBS handle the warranty. They will speak with LBS and then if applicable for the recall, handle the repair by having the wheel shipped to SRAM who replaces the hub, and respokes rebuilds it in the factory and ships it back to LBS. I'm not sure if your LBS needs to be a ZIPP dealer or not. Fortunately for me my hybrid (2011ish) 404 appears to have a newer design without the logo.

At least in terms of yaw and drag #'s everything is OK until a failure happens.

I have a few Zipps. Thanks for the post.

I wonder whether that goes for international customers too.

This http://www.zipp.com/..._Consumer_Notice.pdf is pretty useful for helping identify what's being recalled.
