Zipp Dealer Spotlight: Gear West’s Kevin O’Connor

Kevin O'Connor is a busy person, when not running his highly successful business, he is in the water, on the bike or pounding along the road. He recently proved he is one of the fastest Zipp dealers in the world, finishing the Ironman World Championship in Kona in 9:35:13.


Kevin does have one advantage, as the owner of Gear West, a specialty bike shop in Minnesota that carries Zipp wheels and components, he is able to pick and choose what Zipp wheels he will be using. This year he rode the Speed Shop combination of a 404 front wheel and an 808 rear wheel, finding it was a perfect wheelset to handle his weight, cross-winds, and grueling 112 mile bike leg.


Congratulations Kevin !

Slipstream to ride Zipp wheels

"We're a team that must search out every legal advantage we can find. Having wheels that genuinely test faster in the wind tunnel and have been race proven give us a legal edge, which is what this team is all about" said Team Director, Jonathan Vaughters.
 
"Our relationship with the team will extend beyond sponsorship to provide us with a constant stream of input that will help shape our product development through technological innovation.” said Andy Ording, President of Zipp Speed Weaponry.
