Everything I've read about zipps says the hubs are junk.
This is true. The fronts explode, and the rears either have massive amounts of play or massive amounts of freehub drag. The rims are great, but the hubs are awful. I've ended up having my pair of 404s rebuilt onto Tune hubs, the Zipp ones were so awful.

Ok silly wheels question time.
So I've had an old lady reverse over my bike in the carpark and and a bit of insurance windfall. The missus has said no more bikes so I'm thinking 50mm carbon clinchers, pretty much because I can. And rumble.
I've had good success with fulcrums and I like campag so was thinking boras, but all the local shops are saying theyre rubbish, too stiff and not Aero, get zipps. Everything I've read about zipps says the hubs are junk. I don't race and want to be riding them in 5 years.
What's the lfgss word?
