Product Details

Overview & Technology

Direct OEM replacement for Zipp 188V8 11-speed rear hubs (Part #: 11.1918.010.000, SRAM Model ID HU-SPP-A0). This axle is engineered to restore wheel stiffness, alignment and bearing preload when servicing or rebuilding your Zipp 188 V8 rear hub. Ideal for workshop repairs, spare-parts inventory, or emergency roadside swaps. Construction uses a heat-treated chromoly-steel shaft with precision-turned ends to maintain concentricity and long-term durability under road loads. The axle is machined to Zipp’s factory tolerances for exact fitment with hub shells, bearings and end caps, giving predictable bearing life and reliable wheel tracking.

Key Features & Benefits

Purpose-built for 11-speed systems: Compatible with 11-speed SRAM-compatible drivers and cassette bodies found on the Zipp 188 V8 rear hub. Restores correct spacing and engagement for crisp indexing and optimal drivetrain performance. • OEM part number: 11.1918.010.000 — ensures factory fit and finish. • SRAM Model ID: HU-SPP-A0 for clear cross-referencing. • Durable chromoly build: Heat-treated for fatigue resistance during high-torque efforts and long-term use. • Precision-machined ends: Maintain bearing preload and reduce play for consistent wheel tracking.

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

This axle is specifically sized for the Zipp 188V8 rear hub family and is intended for 11-speed setups. It replaces the factory axle without modification — swap it during a full hub service or to replace a damaged axle. Installation notes: typical installation requires hub disassembly, bearing inspection/grease, and correct torque on end caps or locknuts. Use appropriate cone wrenches and torque settings per Zipp service documentation. Shipping dimensions: 13.9" x 9.1" x 4.7"; weight: 2.4 lb (package), axle alone is significantly lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this axle compatible with all Zipp 188 V8 rear hubs?

Yes — this axle is the OEM replacement specified for the Zipp 188V8 11-speed rear hub family. Confirm your hub is an 11-speed 188 V8 variant before purchasing to ensure correct fit.

Do I need special tools to install the axle?

Basic hub service tools are required: cone wrenches or appropriate hex sockets for your hub’s end caps, grease, and a torque wrench for final assembly per Zipp’s service spec. If you’re not confident, have a mechanic perform the swap to ensure correct bearing preload.

Can I use this axle with a 10-speed or 12-speed cassette?

This axle is designed for 11-speed spacing and SRAM-compatible driver bodies on the Zipp 188 V8 hub. Using different-speed cassettes may require different hub components or shims; check Zipp’s compatibility chart or contact Forest Bikes if unsure.

Should I replace bearings when changing the axle?

Inspect bearings and races during axle replacement. If you see roughness, play, or pitting, replace bearings and seals. Replacing bearings at the same time is recommended if the hub has high mileage or has been exposed to water or grit.

Is this an OEM Zipp part and does it come with warranty?

This is an OEM Zipp replacement axle (11.1918.010.000). Warranty coverage depends on Zipp’s terms and Forest Bikes’ return policy; retain your receipt and contact us for any warranty or fitment concerns.

What are the package dimensions and weight for shipping?

The packaged product ships in dimensions 13.9" x 9.1" x 4.7" and weighs approximately 2.4 lb. Actual axle weight is much less; weight includes protective packaging.

Buying Guide

When buying a replacement hub axle, always match the OEM part number and confirm speed compatibility (11-speed in this case). An axle is a small but critical part — using the correct factory axle preserves hub geometry, bearing preload and wheel alignment. Consider ordering bearings, seals, and fresh grease at the same time if your hub has seen heavy use. If you’re unsure about fitment or installation, have a professional mechanic perform the service to protect your wheelset investment.
