Review on ZIPP Freehub 2013 Current 11 Speed by Charles Butler

With Campagnolo hub shell (blue) for my rear wheel Zipp 404 with 188 V7 hub (version 7) I was able to convert the wheel from 10 speed Shimano (with red freewheel shell) to 11 - stepped (again Campagnolo) . BUT, now I'm using this wheel on a bike with a 11 speed Shimano Di2 and it works as far as I can tell as if it were a wheel with a 11 speed Shimano hub shell - it's magic! For reference, I learned this from Lennard Zinn who wrote in VeloNews about this method of converting a Zipp 188 V7 hub (with Shimano 10 speed) to work with a Shimano 11 speed setup. If anyone is wondering why I didn't convert a Shimano 10-speed Zipp 188 hub to a Shimano 11-speed hub: that's not possible, the V7 of a Zipp 188 hub cannot be converted to a Shimano 11-speed hub! The Campagnolo hub body looks genuine and Zipp quality and it looks like all the parts are included. A review mentions a missing part, and indeed that customer may have received an order with a missing part. That bothered me when I placed my order. I mention this in my review because at first glance I thought my order was missing an item, but after a few realizations, which I'll explain in more detail below, I realized everything was there. I need to install this freewheel housing on my Zipp 188 V7 hub and make it work properly with it. Implementation #1 that the part is not missing - for the drive side (right side), which is the side of the hub where the hub body (and cassette) is installed, I thought the "dust cap" might be missing since the first time I saw it not in a package that contained all the items (with the appropriate lubricant, by the way) - and in the picture with the list of goods this item is presented separately (it's a round blue disk). However, this dust cap has been kept inside the clutch housing in the same place it is fitted when the clutch housing is fitted! So if you order this product and don't see the blue dust cap, look inside the clutch body from the non-pawl side (the side away from the spokes). None - For the non-drive side (left) (which is just the end cap side, no clutch housing and no cassette), the procedure for replacing the clutch housing on the hub requires removing the bearing (red) shield from that side. At first I thought I should replace the red bearing shield with a blue one (Zipp likes things painted with a 188 V7 hub for clarity; Shimano hub body parts are red, Campagnolo hub bushing parts are blue). . I didn't see the blue end shield in my order so I was wondering if that part was missing. BUT I realized that when I replaced the (red) Shimano hub shell with the (blue) Campagnolo hub shell, nothing had "changed" on the non-drive (left) side of the hub. So I was perfectly fine with reusing the (red) bearing shield that was originally there. And in the end I am again very happy with this purchase. With this part I can use this bike again for my current Shimano 11 speed setup. There are other methods to achieve the same result, but I find the method I used with this product to be the easiest and least expensive.
