It’s a wind tunnel tuned, dimpled  carbon-fiber hoop that is stronger than most aluminum rims. Zipp took the  technology that they used to build wheels to withstand Paris-Roubaix and  applied the thinking to clincher rims, which need to be even stronger thanks to  the unsupported sidewalls. It’s the same rim as their rim-brake 202, as the  strength needed works not only to support the rim from side pressure, but from  vertical impact and the tube and tire pushing outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 202  is the climbing shape, which means it’s the lightest clincher in the Zipp  stable, great for not only moving uphill, but accelerating quickly, and  grinding away at slow speeds. It has a depth of 32mm and a width of 24.62mm at  the brake track 23mm is about the narrowest tire you’d want to install, but it  can take the widest cyclocross 700c tires you can find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhichever  tire size you choose, the rim itself is fairly invisible to the wind, whether  it is coming from the front or the side. The Firecrest shape was conceived to  give the rider greater stability by minimizing the side loads that can create  steering torque in crosswinds. The 202 itself is more stable in a crosswind  than a conventional box-section clincher, which is a pretty cool feat. You’re  not going to get blown around by this wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hub,  the 77D, is Zipp’s disc-brake specific model. It weighs in at 140g and the  bearing pre-load is set at the factory. 24 straight-pull spokes arrayed in a  two-cross pattern and populated with Sapim CX-Ray spokes for optimal  aerodynamics. The rotor mounts on six bolts. Zipp, knowing that the ideal  fixing mechanism for disc-brake wheels is still being debated, designed the hub  to work as a 9mm quick release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 705g  wheel also comes with a Zipp skewer, a roll of Zipp rim tape, and a Zipp valve  extender. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zipp  202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Disc Front Wheel does amazing things\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zipp","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":43522095087660,"sku":"10050965","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/zipp-202-firecrest-carbon-clincher-disc-front-wheel-for-quick-release-9729315.jpg?v=1771295894","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/zipp-202-firecrest-carbon-clincher-disc-front-wheel","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
