Which Zipps??

[thysmeades]

A mate of mine is keen to invest in a pair of Zipps for his normal road racing bike. He asked me for some advice and now I ask you guys. Zipp 202's or Zipp 303's. He is a strong rider weighing in at about 78kgs. He is looking for something light and stiff for those nasty little climbs! I am not too sure what the technical differences are between the two wheels sets. Please help! Any ideas on where to buy them at a good price as well.

Thanks,

Thys

Get 404's they do not weigh that much more than the 303's

 

the 404's are 1237g, where as the 303's are 1182g

 

If you ride in Cape Town, PE or anywhere where there is strong wind, get the 303's.

 

202's are so 1990's and you'll always wish you had bought the deeper ones.

No Zipp 303's listed on their site...

Agree with Carlo - unless he lives somewhere really windy, 404's is the way to go!

Potentially another option, a 404 back and 303 front.

I ride the 303's and love em to bits. They are super light and stiff. The 202's are awesome too as are all the rims in the Zipp range, but I cant comment on how they ride as I haven't tried a set yet. I was told that the 202's are more a climbing rim though.
