I don't support zipp because I don't see the Value. They sponsor riders to push their wheel sales.
If I was only paying for Labor/material... I could get into it. But I am not going to pay triple the value of a wheelset just so some joe smoe can get free wheels.
Same story with bicycle shops, if they want to sponsor a racing team, they don't need my business. On the other hand if a shop wants to support dog shelters etc, and have a tip jar for it. I'll gladly give them my business.
