The ZIPP Bearing Shield is a small but essential component designed to protect the precision bearings in your Zipp wheels from dirt, moisture, and road grime. By acting as a barrier between the bearing and the elements, this shield helps maintain smooth rotation and consistent performance over time. It is typically used in Zipp hubs and is shaped to sit securely in place, supporting the overall sealing system of the wheel. Replacing worn or damaged bearing shields is a simple way to extend the life of your bearings and keep your wheels running quietly and efficiently.
Ideal for riders who demand reliability in all conditions, the ZIPP Bearing Shield is especially valuable for those who ride frequently in wet weather, on dusty roads, or in high-mileage training scenarios. Using genuine Zipp small parts ensures proper fit and compatibility with your existing hub system, reducing the risk of premature wear. Whether you are servicing your race wheels before an important event or performing routine maintenance on your everyday wheelset, installing fresh bearing shields is a cost-effective upgrade that supports long-term hub performance and helps preserve the crisp, fast feel Zipp wheels are known for.
