The ZIPP Wellenfeder is a small but essential component designed to keep your Zipp wheel system running smoothly and securely. Often referred to as a wave spring or wave washer, this part helps maintain the correct preload and tension in your hub or freehub assembly, ensuring that bearings sit properly and everything spins freely without unwanted play. By compensating for tiny tolerances and wear over time, the ZIPP Wellenfeder contributes to a more precise, reliable interface between your wheel’s moving parts.
Ideal as a replacement or spare, the ZIPP Wellenfeder is especially useful for riders who regularly service their wheels or demand top performance from their equipment. Whether you are a dedicated road cyclist, triathlete, or time trial specialist, keeping this small part in good condition helps preserve the crisp engagement and smooth rolling that Zipp wheels are known for. Easy to install during routine hub maintenance, it is a cost-effective way to extend the life of your wheel system and maintain that responsive, race-ready feel on every ride.
