I also agree that the price is too high.
Hi rensho l, thanks for that, it’s definitely good to hear that they have a good lifespan. I’m hoping to hear back from zipp on this soon but I’m pretty hopeful they will say it’s ok to use.
The wheel has been converted to ceramic speed bearings so that shouldn’t be a problem, not sure about the axel though - you make a good point.
With regards to price, we are looking at £575 now. Do you think that’s more reasonable? I’m not sure how much it’s worth as don’t see many of them about. Corimas and FFWD’s come around on second hand a lot more often for similar or slightly more money.
