Hi all
Ok if the dimples on the 808 are so grate and are going to make us go oh so much faster, why then did they put 6 (3 on each side) big Ass Zipp stickers on them? It would seem to me that you would not want to cover up any of the expensive little dimples?

On my 808’s the dimples are not covered…the Zipp graphics are impregnated into the rim…I like 'em

So much for your foaming rant. Make sure you know what you’re talking about next time. And learn how to spell.

Nice one…LOL! That is GRATE!
I’m not sure you are reading their claims correctly.
The wheels can save a handful of seconds over 40km as specified on the Zipp website. 1-4 watts, is an improvement, but “Grate” and “oh so much faster” were really not the words we used.

saw a z8 set today that did not have the sublimated graphics… so i wonder which ones get them and which dont?

My graphics are part of the wheel…it my be a “sticker” but I would not be able to peel it off…and it does have dimples.
Zipp made a running change in the dimpled wheel production to sublimated graphics. Early production did have stickers, new ones don’t.
IOW, they agreed with the stickers over expensive dimples = stupid idea comment, and rectified the situation…

Hey Tribriguy
Man sorry! Do most of you work for Zipp? And are you all English teachers?
First off the photo’s I have seen of the 808 have a sticker. And if you read the last post on this thread you will see that is so. So mellow out, it’s just that most of the time it looks like Zipp can do no wrong and I was just trying to show how funny we are about Equipment.
Go ride!
