Hi,

New to this, anyone know what the hubs were in the Zipp Firecrest 404 2016 models?

Running Shimano and time has come to replace it.

Damned if I can find the info on the Zipp website.

Help will be much appreciated.

    Isn’t it super cheap to just replace the bearings and clean up the rest?

    Am already at the edge of my knowledge, if not somewhat beyond it.

    Was looking for a simple swap.

    Replacing the all hub is not a realistic proposition, it would involve rebuilding the wheel, which few shops will be keen to do (and might do it badly).
    Typically bearings are the culprits and shops should be able to replace the worn/faulty ones. IF the all hub needed replacement for any reason, then I would contact the retailer and send them back to Zipp

    Thanks Ugo,

    I think I was loose with my words, I was meaning the bit that spins inside, not the bit that attaches to the spokes. Where is a good place to find the right bearings?

    Cheers :-)

    I would assume the rear hub is the Zipp 177 hub. Just do a search on the Zipp website and full maintenance info is there.

    If it 177 hubs here is the manual including replacement instructions https://www.zipp.com/_media/pdfs/manual ... .pdf#page8

    If its the 88/188 hub then its even easier
