Hi,

I purchased an older Zipp 404 wheelset. the wheels are true with tubular already on the wheels, the outer rim of the wheel where brakes applied show some where, otherwise the wheels look good. From the stickers that are currently on the rim, I determined that is from 1999-2000.

i rode with them on my bike and seems to be very nice and light, but is there anything i need to be concern of? i did notice that the rear tubular looses a tiny bit of air in couple of days (is that typical for tubular?)

The price I paid was $500 for the set, I am wondering if i paid too much, and if there is a big difference between the older set that I have to the new zipp 404s?


Thank you for your expertise.

here are pics of the setup:
