Zipp 606 dropped?
Quote | Reply
Did I miss something? Looks like Zipp has dropped the 606 wheelset combination from their site. If so, eventually stores will probably follow suit and shopping for the 606 combination (404 front + 808 rear) will be a little less convenient. Not like I can afford these things anyway.. just dreaming.

The 606 nomenclature has been dropped, as has the 343, 909, and 999. When you add in the new 2008 wheels and look at the various clincher and tubular options, there are 297 possible combinations. Numeric designations were quickly getting out of hand, so we opted for a "speed shop" designation that allows the pairing of any front wheel with any rear wheel. Rather than the 606 saddle decal at the valve hole, the wheels will carry a speed shop saddle decal. Here is some more information:
