This front wheel is for Paula Tesoriero’s new custom-made Cyfac timetrail bike with a front disc brake.

The Zipp 404 tubular rim doesn’t need much introduction: it’s the benchmark for mid-depth carbon rims and it’s aerodynamics make it perfect for this task.

24 hole disc hubs are hard to find but we tracked down a couple of XTR 965 hubs. This is a great hub for a timetrail bike as it’s light and has adjustable cup-and-cone bearings. To add every possible advantage I replaced the steel bearings with ceramic balls. The Center Lock splined rotor interface, when combined with the DT Swiss 6-bolt adapters, provides a light and aerodynamic way of mounting the brake rotor, and I’ve got some light weight KCNC rotors on order to save a few grams.

Spokes are Sapim CX-Ray which are aerodynamic and will match the 808 rear wheel Paula will use.
