Added a third 1mm spacer and that eliminated the play. Seems like a lot of spacers to me. The wheel is a 2012 and SHOULD be a 9/10 and the hub doesn't have the "11-speed" markings like I see on Zipps website. So ...anyone else ever find themselves adding way more spacers than initially thought?
We have one of those 2011 I think. It is a 10 speed and hadn't really noticed it was much different than other 10 speed freewheels.
And what you did not ask - FWIW:
I can cram an 11 (one piece) on there, but there are just not enough turns on the lock ring to use it. It would not take much to mill (if you have a mill handy) out a one piece 11sp to work. I could not find an 11 spd freewheel for the Zipp to upgrade it. I did find one for both the Easton and Power tap and changed them out. If you find an 11spd freewheel - I'd like to know. So - I posted before - I just removed the big cog from the Miche Supertype 11 and I have 10 speed with 11 speed spacing. Seems to work fine. Shovelhd said you can also remove the cog from any Shimano and get the same result (10 speed with 11 speed spacing) except you are missing a gear..
