Bicycle component maker SRAM is recalling 12,000 Zipp 88 bicycle wheel hubs after two reports that the aluminum front hubs had failed, causing injuries to the rider when the front wheel collapsed.
Recalled front hub; 1st generation Zipp 88
SRAM learned that the retaining ring on its first generation Zipp 88 front hubs could fail, resulting “in the ejection of all the wheel’s spokes.”
SRAM and the Consumer Product Safety Commission urges anyone with Zipp 88 hubs on their bike to stop riding them and contact SRAM for a free replacement.
The hubs were sold separately and mounted on several models of bicycles made by Specialized, Giant, Felt, Orbea and Cannondale. They were sold or installed on bicycles between October 2008 and December 2010.
The faulty hubs have a “Z” logo on the flange ring; Zipp hubs without the “Z” logo are not included in the recall.

Owners with the faulty hub, or who think they have a faulty hub, can contact SRAM at (800) 346-2928 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. (ET) Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET) on Friday, or visit www.sram.com or www.zipp.com and click on Recall Notice for more information.
