When it comes to Zipp wheels, a few millimeters make a big difference. This is especially true at the Tour de France, which starts Saturday.
Just as each rider on Team KATUSHA’s Tour de France roster plays a specified role in the race so do the Zipp wheels they ride. Wheel choice – deciding what rim depth is best – is an added element of modern-day cycling strategy. Here we examine how Team KATUSHA goes about matching riders to the best model of Zipp wheels for them, and what lessons amateur cyclists can learn from that.
“We really appreciate that Zipp has so many different rims at different heights,” said Torsten Schmidt, sports director for Team KATUSHA. “It’s the right amount, from the 202 to the 808.” Schmidt gives his quick breakdown for which Zipp wheel matches which type of terrain:
202 Tubular (32mm depth) – “Uphill, long climbs.” 303 Firecrest (45mm depth) – “Up and down all day.” 404 Firecrest (58mm depth) – “Some up and down, flat.” 404 Firecrest front, 808 Firecrest (82mm depth) rear – “Lead outs.” (Think about the guys in Alexander Kristoff’s sprint train.)
808 Firecrest, Super-9 disc – Time trials.
