Last Saturday I rode IM Vitoria bike course in preparation for the race (whenever it will be, but that is another story...). I had a brand new Zipp super 9 sitting around waiting for a race to finally happen, so I thought it would be a good idea to give it a try. I setup the wheel tubeless and threw in a 11-28, and was good to go.
I uneventfully rode 135k, and when I came off the bike I found this damage in the disc (see images).
No impact or rub signal, just this carbon failure, looks to me that it is a wheel defect. I contacted the seller and I am now waiting for a reply from Zipp's rep.
I have no experience with wheel failure, and wonder if the disc is now safe to ride (I'd say it is not). Has any of you seen this happen before? what could be the cause? Do you think it is safe to ride?
In case you are wondering, I am 79kg, Âż174 lbs?, so well within the weight limits :-)
