Zipp Front Wheel Recall

IMPORTANT RECALL NOTICE

Dear Brickwell Customer:

You may have a bicycle equipped with a ZIPP® 88v6, 88v7 or 88v8 aluminum front hub.

These front hubs are the subject of a safety recall. If your bike has a ZIPP 88v6, 88v7 or 88v8 aluminum front hub, PLEASE STOP RIDING YOUR BIKE until you confirm whether your hub is part of the recall.

Some of the aluminum front hub flanges can fail. If your front hub flange fails, you could crash. There is no UPC code or serial number on the front hubs. However, the affected ZIPP 88v6, 88v7 and 88v8 aluminum front hubs are readily identifiable by the size of the external flange rings and clinch nuts.

The geometry of all 3 models are the same and the models differ only in anodize colors.
