Veteran 405  New York, Connecticut |  Subject: Zipp Hub 11speedSo I have the Zipp 404 Carbon clincher with the silver hub. apparently you can not change the hub to be compatible with 11speed bikes. Is this True? What can I do if this is or isnt true? |

Pro 5892   , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Zipp Hub 11speed You can rebuild the wheel with an 11 speed hub. Expect about $150-200 for a decent hub, about $5 per spoke and about $50-75 for labor. Might be cheaper to buy a used 11 speed wheel. The other alternative is to buy a Campy free hub body and use a Campagnolo cassette. The spacing is almost identical between Shimano and Campagnolo for 11 speed (not true for 10 speed). I used a Shimano D/A 11 speed wheel with my Campy EPS Record 11 tri bike. Shifts great (to the point where I can't tell the different between my Campy wheels and my Shimano wheel). Would require Zipp Campy free hub body and a Campy cassette (not cheap, but less expensive then the other options) Edited by audiojan 2016-09-06 8:28 AM |

Is this True? What can I do if this is or isnt true? If the rear rim is still in good shape, you can always change out the whole rear hub, but since that involves a full wheel rebuild, that is a very expensive method to upgrade your wheelset to 11-speed. However, there are some very inexpensive solutions to this issue listed here, and some methods are even free !: (fyi, we don't have a dog in this fight, just sharing some info that we've discovered to pay it forward) http://darkspeedworks.com/blog-11speed.htm Greg @ dsw |

Veteran 721 Naptown, IN | Subject: RE: Zipp Hub 11speed I've done the "hybrid" cassette conversion (essentially converting an 11 speed cassette to a 10 speed) as described in the link provided by DSW , and it works great. I have used it on a tri bike and a road bike. |
