Zatek Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Bought the wheel set used but found out the front has a hole in. The people from Zipp say it is safe to ride just don't hit a pothole.I am not a weekend rider and take my racing seriously.I always wanted ZIpp wheels but what do you guys think? Take it back and save some more or take a change and take some super glue and make it even. The shop say if the wheels break I can have a new rim at cost.
Cav' Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 If you got it for peanuts, repair it.If you paid an arm and a leg - Return.
LOOK695 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Would you feel save at speeds of 80km/h in a bunch? I would not. What caused the damage
Popit Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Good luck ...I certainly wouldn't ride that .Guys doing carbon repairs will fix that I am sure .
Asterix Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 at that price, keep wheels just order replacement rim.  i wouldn't repair.
Pure Savage Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Did you buy the wheels, then find the hole before you rode it or did you ride it and then find a hole? Could you not claim on insurance for new wheel?
Zatek Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 Mike phoned and told me about it. The previous owner kept it from him. Mike ( works at Finishline Cycles) offered to replace the wheel at no extra charge. He feels bad about the deal. All what I can say is I will be a client for life even if it is 120km away. Most people wouldn't go this far to help and with people like this, speaks volumes for the shop. The new wheel will be delivered next week Monday or Tuesday in Secunda. Just in time for the Jock. Thanks Mike
