Does anyone know if Zipp Firecrest 808's fit into the frame of a Ridley Noah Fast??

Heard they rub terribly?

    The 1080 wasn't compatible with the Noah, and the 808 is its replacement however there are no compatibility warnings on the 808 page - I would suggest emailing Zipp to ask!

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    When you say not compatible what was the issue?

    I think it's the Firecrest rim is too wide and rubs against the chainstays under power.

    If you are given the chance to stay away from ZIpp wheels, take it... :wink:
