Rode my 2009 Zipp 808 clincher for the first time in a time trial and felt a noticeable "wobble" at any speed over roughly 16-17 mph. The wheel "feels" as if the rim is heavier in one spot as it spins, that is, it might be lopsided (for lack of a better term).
Is there an allowable tolerance for this discrepancy or is this a warranty issue?

Stay away from Zipp Wheels.
I do not like Zipp Wheels or the customer service provided and her is why. I have had a set of 303's, a set of 404's and now a sub 9. The first sub 9 came in cracked and wobbled badly. Also, sub 9 is so flimsy that it bounces off of the chain stays when I get out of the saddle or take corners. The spokes kept snapping on the 303 and there were major hub problems on the 404's. Zipp customer service is terrible too. I've had several dealing with Bryan Hite, one of Zipp's big shots. He's made several promises to me and never delivers. For example offered me a wheel bag and some other wheel goodies to make up for the poor customer service and 6 month weight for a Sub 9 wheel. He also offered me a trip to the Zipp factory after I mentioned that the sub 9 came months late and I never received the wheel goodies. They did not come threw with the factory trip and tour either.
