Subject: HELP ME PLEASE!!! Damaged HUB???
So this is a sad unfortunate day. I bought a set of Zipp 60's off Probikekit and received them about a week ago. I haven't been able to ride them due to the weather so they have been sitting on the side lines. Today brought nice weather so I decided to mount some new GP4000s ii's and put my old cassette on to try out the wheels on the road. Well, as soon as I inflated the wheels I realized a made a mistake. Apparently 25mm tires don't fit on P3's. Well that sucks.

Not as much as this. So I wasn't too angry as I was going to place a new order soon and could just sell the 25mm's on a classified site pretty easily. But I realized I needed to now take the cassette off these wheels and put them back on the olds. I took off the lock ring with the cassette tool and chain whip and then attempted to take off the cassette. I managed to take off the first cog with no problem but the second was jammed. I tried to pry it off but nothing worked. I took it to my LBS and they managed to get 2 cogs off. After closer inspection, one of the splines is damaged. I haven't even ridden these wheels yet!!! I am so bummed.

I spent around 1250 for these wheels + about 140 duty fees. I cannot see myself putting any more money into them. Sending back to Europe would cost me probably around $100, then the return duty fee would be another $140.

Does anyone have a recommendation for me? Anyone think sanding the area that is buldged out is okay? Instead of contacting PBK should I just go straight to Zipp?

Thanks everyone.

Nathan.

If the wheel were mine: I'd sand/file it flat to the outer surface of the spline, and be more careful about the orientation of the last cog when putting it back on. Then I'd ride the heck out of it.

as always, the first course of action should be to see what Zipp has to say. May end up being the easiest solution.

That said, I agree with Dave... I wouldn't hesitate to sand it off and ride it. (although I'm not suggest YOU do that... just saying what I'd do.)

And I suppose you actually stop and ask for directions, too, eh? Submit your man card.
