They felt great spinning in my hands but I just clamped them into the frame and they have some side to side play, much more than I am used to in bike wheels, and kinda rattly too.
Zipp claims their hubs will have some play in them because of their bearing design, but how much is normal? I had already ordered new front & rear bearing sets from zipp anyway, maybe the new bearings will resolve some of the "play" in the hubs when I get them installed.
I don't see how anything else could be worn on these wheels. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
My LBS routinely secures the rear wheel play with Loctite. Call Bill (head mechanic dude) at Piermont Bicycle Connection 845.365.0900 and ask him about it.
