Product Details

Overview & Technology

Direct OEM replacement for Zipp 188V6 rear hubs manufactured 2013 and later. This axle assembly (MPN 11.2100.096.000, Zipp product #090795, SRAM Model ID HU-SPP-A0) restores hub geometry and wheel tracking to factory specs when servicing or repairing your wheel. The assembly is engineered for road performance: a precision-machined axle shaft combined with robust end-cap interfaces ensures consistent lateral stiffness and reliable bearing preload over thousands of miles. Shipping dimensions are 12.3" x 9.1" x 4.6" and the packaged weight is 1.8 lb — compact and ready for shop or at-home repairs.

Key Features & Real‑World Benefits

Material and construction: the axle assembly features a hardened axle shaft for durability and CNC-machined end caps for precise bearing alignment. The component is finished to Zipp's factory tolerances to maintain freehub engagement geometry when paired with SRAM/Shimano freehubs. On the road that means predictable cornering feel, accurate wheel dish, and reduced play after reassembly. The OEM fit minimizes the chance of noise, premature bearing wear, or axle bending common with ill-fitting aftermarket parts.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This axle assembly is compatible specifically with Zipp 188V6 rear hubs, 2013 and newer models that use a SRAM/Shimano style freehub body. Confirm compatibility by matching your hub model and serial or consulting Zipp service docs. Manufacturer part number: 11.2100.096.000; SRAM Model ID: HU-SPP-A0. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics: remove the wheel, extract the old axle assembly using common cone wrenches or hex tools depending on hub variant, clean bearings and races, then install the new assembly with light grease and correct torque on the end caps. If you're unsure, have a professional wheel builder or mechanic complete the swap to preserve warranty and bearing life.

Who This Is For

This part is for road riders, mechanics and wheel builders running Zipp 188V6 wheels from 2013 onward who need a reliable OEM replacement axle. It’s ideal for riders restoring a damaged axle, refreshing an old hub during a service, or maintaining fleet wheels where exact fitment matters. If you ride frequently, train hard, or race, using an OEM axle like this avoids the tolerance and longevity compromises that sometimes come with generic replacements — keeping your wheels true and your drivetrain behaving as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this axle fit my Zipp 188V6 rear hub?

This axle is intended for Zipp 188V6 rear hubs from 2013 onward that use a SRAM/Shimano-style freehub. Verify compatibility by checking your hub model and serial or consulting Zipp support. If your hub is an earlier generation or a different freehub standard, this assembly may not fit.

Do I need special tools to install the axle assembly?

Basic wheel service tools are usually sufficient: cone wrenches, hex keys or sockets as required by your hub's end-cap fasteners, and a torque wrench to spec the end caps if needed. If you're not comfortable servicing hubs, a trained mechanic can install and set bearing preload quickly.

Is this an OEM Zipp part and does it affect warranty?

Yes — this is the OEM Zipp rear axle assembly (MPN 11.2100.096.000). Using OEM replacement parts helps maintain wheel integrity and is recommended for warranty and long-term performance, but check Zipp's warranty terms for specifics on installation and coverage.

Can I use this axle with SRAM and Shimano cassettes?

The axle assembly is compatible with hubs that accept SRAM/Shimano freehub bodies — cassette compatibility is determined by the freehub body and cassette interface rather than the axle itself. Ensure your freehub body and cassette standard match (e.g., 11-speed Shimano/SRAM road) before installation.

How do I know if I need a new axle assembly versus just servicing bearings?

Replace the axle assembly if the shaft is bent, threads are damaged, end caps are worn or the assembly fails to hold proper preload after service. If only bearings are worn, you may only need a bearing replacement; however, inspecting the axle for damage during bearing service is best practice.

Can I use aftermarket end caps or axles instead?

Aftermarket parts may work but can introduce fit and tolerancing issues that affect bearing life and wheel dish. For best results and to preserve hub performance, we recommend OEM assemblies like this Zipp unit.

Buying Guide

When buying a replacement rear axle assembly, prioritize exact fit and OEM part numbers — wheel hubs rely on tight tolerances for bearing preload, hub alignment, and freehub engagement. Match your hub model, freehub standard, and year (this part fits Zipp 188V6 rear hubs from 2013 onward) and confirm manufacturer part numbers (11.2100.096.000, SRAM HU-SPP-A0) to avoid returns or installation issues. Decide whether you’ll install the part yourself or have a mechanic handle it. If you perform the service, gather the correct wrenches, clean bearings and races, and follow torque specifications. For frequent riders or race wheels, replacing worn axles with OEM assemblies preserves performance and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
