Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Wheelset 77 / 177 2017 with it’s wider rear rim may present some fitment issues for a small number of road and triathlon frames. The clearance between the chainstay and the rim may not be adequate to avoid contact between each other when ridden under load. We suggest customers who plan on riding the 303 Firecrest to test the wheel within the frame in which they intend to ride before purchasing. Two models we know has these fitment issues are 2012 Specialized Tarmac SL4 and Specialized S-Works McLaren Venge.For those looking for a wider gear range, or tackling especially extreme terrain, an XD driver body for 177 is sold separately and easily installed to allow for more cassette options including a 10-42. The hubset is designed to swap driver bodies without re-dishing the wheel.The 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher weighs a mere 1,645 grams per set ywhilst retaining a rider weight limit of 250lbs.

 

 

Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Wheelset 77 / 177 2017 utilizes Firecrest shaping which optimizes the aerodynamic profile of both the front half and the back half of the wheel. In addition, Firecrest moves the center of pressure of the wheel backwards, giving the 45 mm-deep rim the crosswind stability a box-section rim. At the same time, the 26.4 mm-wide brake track (at center) allows the clincher tire to take on a wider, more stable shape without compromising rolling resistance. It’s faster, simpler, and more stable.

The new wheels retain all the small details that make Zipp wheels what they are. Exposed spoke nipples sit in the aerodynamic shadow of the rims, keeping serviceability simple without compromising speed.

 

Available in two decal options, the stealthy Matte Black or the distinctive Matte White decals. Max recommended rider weight 250lbs.
