Never clamp a carbon frame (top tube, seat tube, down tube) in a work stand or bike rack—carbon is rigid but vulnerable to compression.

Cockpit

Which Size?
Refer to the bike frame geometry table for precise sizing.

Smaller size: More responsive and agile
Larger size: Better comfort for long distances
If you're between sizes, choose based on your riding style and fit preference. For best results, we recommend a professional bike fit.

Important / Safety
Zipp wheels use a hookless rim design, meaning there’s no hook to hold the tire in place—air pressure secures it to the rim.

WARNING:
Always follow Zipp’s maximum pressure limit. Never exceed 73 psi (5 bar), or you risk tire failure.
