Zipp 303 - 3-5 years old
I was in a LBS today and I saw a set of zipp 303's for $250 and wanted to buy them, but was a bit hesitant.
The wheels looked in decent shape but showed signs of wear, mostly scuffs and some dirt.
Would you buy used wheels from a LBS?

Maybe, killer deal - I'm sure they would sell for a lot more on ebay.

never needed to have my hubs serviced as none of my wheels have over 5k miles on them. usually, it's a yearly thing if you ride quite a bit. that said, i think this gives a good treatise on free hub service & at least you can ask your lbs about different things that need to be performed
