*************************************************************

At Zipp, we know that larger riders demand more of their equipment. For this reason, we have created our Team Clydesdale wheelsets. Higher spoke counts and stiffer rims make our 404 and 909 wheelset stand up to the additional forces generated by larger riders. No longer do you have to be saddled with slow, heavy wheels. Take a look at Zipp’s Clydesdale wheels and blow the competition away.

404 Clydesdale Tubular
Like a very hot butcher knife through melted butter.
Our most aerodynamic wheelset, designed for use in the broadest range of racing conditions, offering the weight savings of tubular tires. The Clydesdale model adds greater strength with extra spokes for the bigger, more powerful athlete while proving that racers don’t have to be lightweight to compete.

These 404’s are specifically designed and manufactured for the bigger more powerful athlete without compromising aerodynamics or overall performance. While 404’s are well-respected in the triathlon world, they are excellent in road race and time trial applications for Team Clydesdale members due to the specific method of manufacturing we employ. All wheels utilize the Zipp 84 and 202 rear cassette hubs, the new reinforced Pave 360 tubular rim, advanced bearing technology, and the finest spokes in the world. All tubular wheelsets feature the Zipp exclusive Silica Ceramic braking surface while the clinchers are manufactured using the m2cm patent pending molding technology and precision machined aluminum parallel braking surface. Clydesdale athletes prove you don’t have to be a lightweight to compete.

Zipp Clydesdale wheelsets prove that light and strong performance wheels are available to everyone.

Highly Recommended: ZIPP highly recommends the use of ZIPP Carbon/Carbon brake pads for all ZIPP rims and wheelsets. ZIPP Carbon/Carbon pads are engineered for optimal performance and rim longevity under all (including extreme) conditions with both Silica-Ceramic and Aluminum braking surfaces. ZIPP Carbon/Carbon pads are also recommended for use with non-ZIPP products. To find out more about ZIPP Carbon/Carbon pads click here.

Other recommended pads are Shimano or Campagnolo pads designed for use with carbon rims, and KoolStop Black pads.

404 Clydesdale Clincher
Come see how the big boys play.
Our most aerodynamic wheelset, designed for use in the broadest range of racing conditions, retains the convenience of clincher tires. The Clydesdale model adds greater strength with extra spokes for the bigger, more powerful athlete while proving that racers don’t have to be lightweight to compete.

900/840 Disc
The new dimpled disc.
Fast as hell.

The Zipp disc is simply the lightest, most aerodynamically efficient wheel of its kind, ever. And because it is even lighter than most aluminum-rimmed “climbing” wheels, gone are the days when this little demon was relegated to only flat course dominance.

A culmination of over 14 years of disc manufacture and design including literally thousands of National, World, and Olympic medals in dozens of disciplines throughout the last century, the new Zipp discs set a new standard for this century by which all others must be judged. Since every piece of carbon cloth, every hand-laid step in the manufacture of the disc had changed for 2003, many thought that we could rest on our laurels for 2004. So we redesigned the tooling and further perfecting the processing to better optimize the size and shape of each specific dimple, and for good measure we reduced weight at the perimeter edge.Thus, further reducing that critical rotational moment of inertia to well under any traditional aluminum rim and wire spoked wheel. Once again, we have had the opportunity to push the envelope of new alloy usage through our partnership with Alcoa, resulting in even stronger and stiffer hub components. Furthermore, the new disc hub continues to be the world’s only interchange from cassette to track compatibility, again only requiring two tools and a few seconds to complete the transition.

Zipp 900/Discs
The Zipp disc is simply the lightest, most aerodynamically efficient wheel of its kind, ever. No hype, no speculation, just speed. If you are serious about going fast, this is the logical choice. Because ZIPP discs are very light, gone are the days when discs should be considered a flat course wheel only. The 900 disc is generally lighter than most aluminum rimmed rear wheels considered ‘climbing’ wheels, and with unsurpassed lateral stiffness, low overall weight and a low perimeter mass the ZIPP disc accelerates like no other wheel.

Combine this with a total frontal area of only 19mm and patent-pending ABLC dimpled surface technology and you have a wheel built for serious performance.We feel that your event wheels should have maximum value as well, so your Zipp disc can also perform as a track wheel, or be easily converted between Campagnolo and Shimano compatibility; because your wheels should be able to do everything you need them to regardless of how many bikes you have or events you compete in.
