Good video. Do you remember which size bearing you use?

I’ve got that zipp 404 firecrest and now into my 3rd bearings set for the rear wheel. My local bike shop has now ordered zipp bearings and let’s see how long they hold up. I’ve only had my wheelset for under a year 😢 if bearings go again I will be looking for a refund!!

Sorry to hear that Imran, though I'm glad it's not just me who had issues. I hope you get things sorted.

Did you do the rear? Was it the same process?
@TheRadGravelRider Жыл бұрын
I did Joe and it's exactly the same though you need to remove the freehub body first. Thats a good opportunity too to check the freehub bearing and pawls are all in good condition.

Only had them changed once and that was a while ago now. I got the LBS to do that.

Great video! How are the new bearings holding up?
@TheRadGravelRider Жыл бұрын
So far? Ok. Interestingly the disc brake side front bearing died fairly quickly so I popped the old one I'd salvaged back in. Holding well, but I've hardly used the wheelset over winter (just once when doing the first ride of the new bike).

I got the 404 version of those wheels and I have to agree, the bearings are shite! They do not free wheel as long and fast when compared to my old bike which has rim brake wheels BUT with ceramic bearings.

Only a fool fits non Zipp bearings. Zipp for some reason are very, very finicky and you really need to use their bearings. Don’t ask me why.
@TheRadGravelRider Жыл бұрын
The first set I replaced were Zipps own bearings. In my experience I've had more life out of the third party bearings than I had with the original and replacement Zipp bearings. I may be a fool, but I'm a slightly richer fool for using third party bearings.

@The Fat Gravel Rider good luck with that program, but most people find that non zipp bearings are an annoying lottery, some work yes, but most are no good, with lots of creaking and play. If you do try zipp bearings take great care to mount with the black side facing outwards though - there is a different type of seal on the left and right side of every zipp bearing.
@charlieedwards1669 Жыл бұрын
@@CG-99 Yes agree CG it does seem that Zipp hubs are less tolerant to alternative manufacturer bearings but if you cannot get Zipps and you are gravel/off road and not listening for creaks I can see why you can give it a go. See @Mapdec Cycle Works for interesting experience with the original bearings on new Zipp 303s - Zipps own stuff having issues. Re popping the old one back in - I have been told a pulled bearing is a dead bearing and should not be re-used. @The Fat Gravel Rider - Great to hear your experience and love that you try these things out.

Thanks Charlie. With parts at premium prices nowadays, and given I won this wheelset, I'm happy to try the dodgy stuff so you don't have to.

Nowhere near £500. The bearing tool set was £45 off eBay and the sliding hammer was £38 off Amazon.

@@user-wf8vx4bl5c If you expand my comment you'll see links to both the bearing press and sliding hammer. That are the exact same ones I used in the video and worked absolutely fine for me. For home use they are fine, though if you're working a shop workshop they may not be the best for longevity.
