Zipp 303 Firecrest or Roval Rapide CLX

How has your warranty replacement experience been? I had to claim on my 303 firecrests after both rims developed significant ripples and the experience was great - new wheels received in less than a week from sending my wheels back. Very much dependent on the retailer though (who you have to make the claim through) - Ive heard a few cases of retailers making it a difficult process.

SRAM Customer service is top notch.

How did it go? Did they send a new wheel?

Yep. All sorted with no stress. The delay was me getting the wheel boxed up and sent. One day turn-around and a few days in transit to/from Ballarat.

Here’s the video on the process of breaking the 303FC, making a claim, and getting the replacement. All smooth sailing as expected from a company with the resources of Zipp/SRAM.

Definitely a plus for SRAM/ ZIPP. Stuff breaks, it’s a bummer, but it happens.
As long as it’s handled well and conveniently, I am a happy customer!

Can I ask how old the wheel was? I’m thinking of getting new wheels for my gravel bike and while there are some smaller brands that are cheaper a lifetime warranty is attractive if it’s honoured

From my original gravel build back in early December 2020. Likely around 8000kms on it (ballpark estimate).
