Quality
Whenever we shop for Wheels it’s important to consider the quality of the product. Typically we’d break down quality into a few factors, use these when deciding if Zipp 808 Carbon Clincher QR Rear Wheel is right for you.
Brand – the brand is often a very quick clue as to how good quality a product is. Of course this isn’t always the case, but generally a decent brand that you know offers high quality products often delivers quality across their whole product range.
Material – is there anything about the product material that you know makes it a better material than that of perhaps cheap entry level Wheels
Features – Consider whether there’s anything particular about Zipp 808 Carbon Clincher QR Rear Wheel that makes it stand out from alternative or competitor products, perhaps it has some additional or different features that improve the quality.
Price – we will go into more detail on price in a short while, but we just want to touch upon how price can impact quality here. As the old saying goes “you get what you pay for”, does have a certain sense of truth to it and should at least have some influence on your expectations of quality when you have set yourself a budget. If your budget is right at the lower end of the scale for buying Wheels then you should have expectations that you perhaps won’t be getting the best quality product available.
Further reading: if you have time this article on ‘5 ways product quality impacts your brand’ is worth a read. It’s directed at the business rather than us as consumers but gives food for thought on things to consider when buying online.

But before we do that, it’s worth you stopping and thinking about whether you already have a budget in mind. All too often we don’t set outselves a budget and that’s why we end up keep looking at slightly more expensive options only to find we’ve ended up buying a product that costs double what we had originally looked at.

Reviews
Reviews are undoubtedly the single most important part of shopping online, especially when it’s a product that you’d really like to have been able to see and try before you bought it. Reviews do a great job of alleviating any of the stress that is normally associated with not being able to try the product first, as you get to hear from people that have tried it.
The other benefit to reviews is that they’re, for the most part, unbiased. So you’re getting genuine feedback from a customer that has bought the product, rather than reading the views of the manufacturer itself.
We’ve scored Zipp 808 Carbon Clincher QR Rear Wheel 9.4 out of 10 for our review based on a wide range of factors, from customer feedback through to the price, quality and brand.
We rely heavily, as do you, on customers leaving reviews, so if you do go on to buy Zipp 808 Carbon Clincher QR Rear Wheel or even a different product such as Zipp 404 Carbon Tubeless DB 6-Bolt Rear Wheel 2019 reviews or Zipp 404 Carbon Clincher QR Rear Wheel reviews then we’d really love to hear from you. Drop us a comment below with your thoughts and as much information as you’re able to provide. What you like about the product, how long you’ve had it, anything that was below or above your expectations.
Brand
Brand is again something that you should really put some thought into when buying any product, but especially so for Wheels. There will of course be some recognised brands that offer better products and brands that you know you can rely on to provide a great product, time after time. Thankfully Zipp is one of those brands.
The other thing to consider with brands is your personal preference. Now we of course can’t influence this, but can at least advise you to have a good think about the sort of brands that you’d be comfortable buying. When shopping with retailers like Chain Reaction Cycles UK you can often filter by brands, which is a really useful way to narrow down your search, especially when you’re dealing with 619 products in the Wheels category.
Once you’ve completed your list of brands you’d be happy to buy from, use these filters and also filter by a price within your budget and you may find that you’re getting much closer to finding the perfect Wheels for you.
