That sucks. Do you have the chrome plated one or the black one? Either way, I know you can buy a black, replacement one on their website. I had the chrome one and it flaked off from sweat. I went to their site and ordered the black, replacement one. Here's the link: https://store.zipp.com/ and they're $24.

Thanks for the info - I have the chrome plated one which I think is the first generation of them. All the chrome flaked off all the ones I have seen. I have them on both road and tri bikes and the chrome was terrible. Hopefully the black is a little better.

I was just about to go hunting for this. Thanks! Just ordered a new faceplate as well.

Perhaps you could call them tomorrow. I've always had good service from them when a product didn't perform as expected.

Thanks - I will try calling them today - but purchasing items from Wiggle et al into Australia you normally get very little customer support from the supplier or the local distributor...

Hi,
I'm desperately looking for Zipp 145SL faceplate.
Does anyone knows where I can get one?
Regards, Seb.

Seb,

Did you ever find one? Mine cracked this morning and I'm looking for one now. Zipp Tech support said they do not make or stock them anymore.

Nope, been looking for last 6 months without luck.
Found Zipp supplier in Australia, sent them email to confirm stock availability,
they said 'in stock', placed order but after few days they send money back :(
My friend was trying to fix faceplate by welding but won't work.
Don't know what to do. Can't find any aftermarket replacement.

You can use something other than the standard faceplate. I used two bars that had the proper spacing on an older stem years ago without issue.

Orbilius, you mean something like this:



I have tried before but Zipp has a bit wider spacing, unfortunatelly.
Same Raceface and Thomson faceplate.
