Status: Discontinued please contact ZIPP Speed Weaponry for Service information. ZIPP 217 REAR AND 100 FRONT HUBS (1995-99)
The free-hub body must be lubricated every 300-500 miles. Look at the back of the drive-side flange for the lubrication port. Lubricant is injected through this port while holding the free hub body facing downward and rotating the mechanism. It is essential to use only specially formulated Zipp Lube or to use Tri-Flow brand liquid or aerosol wet Teflon lubricant. Any other lubricant will almost certainly cause the hub mechanism to malfunction!. The 217 rear hub is available in Shimano 8 and 9 speed compatible free hubs as well as Campagnolo compatible 8 speed free hubs. Note the free hubs look very similar - the Campy has one wider spline. Technical data: weight = 223gm, spacing = 130mm (8sp), flange diameter = 43mm, center to drive = 19mm, center to non-drive = 36mm. Maintenance notes model 217. Maintenance notes Model 100. Bearings model 100 = 2 x R6. Model 217 = 2 x R6. The free hub body needs a special bearing cup removal tool to disassemble. Status discontinued ZIPP 377 REAR and 182 FRONT HUBS (1998)
ZIPP 282 REAR AND 102 FRONT HUBS (1999 to 2001)
Bearings:
Note: early 282 hubs may be silver. When interchanging free hub bodies, check to see if the existing hub uses two or three pawls in the engagement mechanism and check bearing seal color.

There are 2 versions of the silver free hub body for this hub model. The 202W free hub has a solid silver ring on the free hub side adjoining the pawls, while the 202P has groves that are machined all the way through with a slight "lip at the end of each spline.

A completely new design, these hubs have a 17mm axle, pawls with individual leaf springs, 32 teeth ratchet ring, slotted flanges, aero clinch nuts, internal seals and lateral play adjustment. Front end caps are smoke colored with blue/smoke or red rear end caps. Wheel lacing is reversed with 2x drive and radial non-dive spoke pattern. Free hubs are NOT inter-changeable and require a separate conversion kit that includes spacers, seal and matching end cap. Maintenance instructions are available here including exploded diagrams.

The original ZIPP hub, the Ballistic front and rear hub set is identified by gold anodized hub flanges and large diameter carbon fiber center section. The Ballistic rear hub was available in 7 and 8 speed freewheel models (left) as well as a Shimano compatible 8-speed free hub (right). Flange diameter is 43mm (both types), for free hub type: center to flange front = 35mm, center to drive 19mm center to non-drive = 36mm front = 110gm rear cassette = 305gm. This hub model incorporated a wave spring preload system and used R6 bearings. Note the black free hub body with threads on the end, only available in Shimano style. Status: Discontinued. Please contact ZIPP Speed Weaponry for service information.
The 295 and 104 retain the large diameter carbon fiber center section of original Ballistic hub set, but are anodized a Smoke/Silver Gray color. This hub set is a refinement of the original Ballistic hub concept and still used R6 bearings. All internal parts are interchangeable with the original Ballistic hub models except for the end caps. The 295 rear was also available in 7 or 8 speed freewheel models as well as a Shimano 8 speed free hub (shown here). Not available in Campagnolo style Status: Discontinued. Please contact ZIPP Speed Weaponry for service information.
A front hub designed for mtb. applications with front suspension, the ZIPP 145 was rated the stiffest suspension hub available by VeloNews. This hub is recognized by the large diameter carbon fiber center section and by the grease injection ports on each hub flange. Hub flanges are anodized Smoke/Silver Gray with a laser etched ZIPP logo.
The 217 and 100 front are recognized by their narrow carbon fiber center sections and Smoke/Silver Gray laser ZIPP logo etched flanges. The 217 is an extremely light high performance rear hub, with an average weight of 220 grams and used R6 bearings. The free hub body is Stainless Steel. To achieve its lightweight without sacrificing durability, the 217 free-hub body rotates on two non-contact bushings rather than traditional ball or cartridge bearings. The free hub mechanism is very simple and reliable. Remember, however, that the free-hub body is essentially "floating" on a thin film of lubricant across the surfaces of the bushings.
The 182 front and 377 rear hub set are designed to offer a more traditional hub mechanism with a combination of performance, weight, durability, and value. This hub set is recognizable from other ZIPP hubs by its all aluminum hub shell construction and distinctive hour-glass hub body . This hub series used 6001 2RS bearings. The hubs are anodized Smoke/Silver Gray with a laser etched ZIPP logo. Shimano 8 and 9 speed compatible. Complete service information is available by contacting ZIPP Technical and Customer Service.
The 102 front and 282 rear hubs are an ideal combination of performance, weight, durability, and value. Recognizable from other ZIPP hubs by their black anodized all aluminum hub construction; the 102 and 282 are available for both Shimano 8/9 speed and Campagnolo 9/10 speed systems. The 102 and 282 are the first ZIPP hubs to utilize butted or oval straight pull spokes. Free-hub bodies are interchangeable. Both front and rear hubs turn on the highest quality industrial cartridge bearings available. These bearings were used in a number of subsequent ZIPP wheel sets. If you need parts for the 2 pawl earlier 282 hub (shown above - often called the Swiss version), you must change axle, end caps and free-hub to upgrade to the 3 pawl (USA) model. Hub maintenance notes. Status: discontinued, parts are difficult to find.
In mid-2001 a 'USA' built version of the 282 was introduced. It is laser etched in the center of the hub flange with "USA" in silver on the black hub shell. Free-hub bodies are not inter-changeable between earlier 'swiss' versions and the usa version (shown on left). Model 102 front: flange diameter = 23mm, center to flange = 39mm. Model 282 rear free hub: drive side flange = 51mm, non-drive flange = 33.5mm, center to drive side flange = 12mm, center to non-drive flange = 35mm. Maintenance notes.
Al alloy silver polished hub bodies, most easily recognized by carbon weave protective end caps on both front and rear hubs. Available for either Shimano or Campagnolo, the bodies are interchangeable, but are not compatible with earlier models due to over-sized 15mm axle on the 202 rear and 84 front hubs.
These hubs are distinguished from the 202/84 model by brightly colored free hub bodies (Shimano red, Campagnolo blue), a plastic retaining ring behind the carbon hub caps, a reduction in weight (30g), redesigned pawl springs and an increase in the rear ear flange dimensions (52mm). Read the full description and access the drawings here. 
A silver polished Al alloy hub body matched to traditional hub flanges and silver free-hub body distinguish this hub. Like the 84/202 hub set, these hubs also have the carbon dust caps, held on with a rubber retaining ring. Most of the internals are interchangeable with the 84/202. Available in 28 and 32 holes. Call for information concerning compatibility between the two hubs. Status: discontinued, contact ZIPP customer service for replacement parts.
This hub set uses Hi / Lo rear flange geometry (58/47mm) to increase lateral and torsional stiffness. Has colored free hub bodies and may be laced radially. During 2009 this hub was used in the team issue wheels only.
Classic high flanged front and rear track hubs. Simple, reliable, and a joy to ride. Drilled and slotted for bladed spokes. The 1st generation had a smooth hub body (right) with the Zipp logo on one flange. This was later changed to raised mid section engraved with Zipp speed weaponry (left). Used 2 6001 RS bearings. Status: Discontinued. Contact Zipp for Service information.
Built with a 69mm diameter flange (locating spokes on a 60mm circle) and increased strength in the spoke holes due to 
Brushed aluminum, long conical flange with silver end caps and internals, compatible with the 217 road hub. 8/9 speed free hub, used R6 bearings throughout. Note Zipp no longer has any spare parts (bearing excluded) for this hub.
The Zipp track front hub has a brushed aluminum finish, white Zipp logo engraved on one flange and a distinctive symetrical conical cone with silver end caps and black track caps. Press the R6 bearing onto the axle and insert into the flange with the wave spring, then press fir the bearing onto the axle on the other side.
Rounded black anodized flanges sets the wheelchair disc hub apart from all others. The axle assembly has a bolt on flange. Uses 2 x R8 bearings.
An example of extreme hub corrosion. (Clean your bike every once in a while!)
