Can't wait to try them out.

Need to fit them this weekend and then go for a ride to see how they perform.

No more clutter on the bars with all these clamps!!! Nice clean set up now.

What is their service like? Never heard of them before but now checking out the website

 

Excellent service. Placed my order on 29 August. Wheel was shipped on 30 August. I received the wheel today, 4 September! The price of the Zipp 101, including the powertap (pro), was very similar to the price of the powertap (pro) alone in SA! Also, they are recommended by Zipp for custom wheel builds.

 

I spent a couple of months doing research, and eventually settled on them as their reviews (and prices) were very good.

[Let's Ride]

Arrived today!

 

Nice wheel!!!

 

Other than wanting to include a powertap is there a need for a custom wheel build?

 

Original wheel is cheaper and built by Zipp. Would the wheelbuilder wheel be stronger (I pressume the zipp hubs are pretty good)?

 

Just looking at options for now and a tad interested.

 

Edit: I guess if you wanted nicely coloured spokes and nipples then it's worth it.

well atleast until I've bought all the "just one left" items I want!

 

But as an indication, retail on that helmet is R4500. CRC sells it for R3800. I paid R2000... hells yeah!
