Update
This is a zipp 530 700c rims, also 58mm deep, are hollow molded and fully utilize Zipp’s proprietary technology.
Just had a look at the wheel, braking surface is perfect apart from the join in the rim where there seems to be a 1mm gap. I had no idea of this until i was cleaning the rims and it has never been noticeable when being ridden and my friend who has also ridden these wheels agreed. Bearings are perfect.
very close up pic, the gap isn't as big as it seems but as I'm sure many of you will see this as fucked, I'm open to offers over 60, bearing in mind the hope ti hub is in brand new condition, the spokes can be reused and the rim could be rebuilt as a front wheel on a brakeless. As far as i'm aware its fine to ride on but thast just my opinion.
