Product Details

Overview & Technology

Zipp 88/188 Clinch Nut and Screw is an OEM replacement hardware kit designed for Zipp 88 and 188-series hubs and rims. Manufactured to Zipp's original specifications (Manufacturer PN: 11.2018.000.002; SRAM Model ID: HU-SPP-A0), this part restores the secure clinch fit between rim and hub hardware so your wheels perform as intended. Construction: the nut and screw are precision-machined from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with tight tolerances to ensure consistent seating and long life. The assembly is built to withstand repeated maintenance cycles and the high clamping forces common to modern clincher and tubeless setups, while minimizing galvanic corrosion when paired with typical wheel alloys.

Key Features

Durable, service-ready hardware: Heat-treated stainless steel parts resist wear and keep threads true over many installs, reducing the risk of stripping during service. Zipp's factory tolerances guarantee the fit and function expected from OEM components. • OEM Zipp replacement part, matches original specifications • Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance • Available in no-thread (88) and threaded (188v7) variants • Compact, lightweight design keeps wheel mass minimal

Fit, Compatibility & Installation Notes

This clinch nut and screw is intended for Zipp 88 and 188 hub/rim assemblies. The product number 090790 corresponds to the 88 no-thread version; a threaded 188v7 variant (PN 11.2018.000.002) is also available for later 188 wheelsets. Check your wheel's service manual or the stamped part label to confirm which variant your wheel uses. Shipping & size: Ships in a compact package (13.9" x 9.2" x 4.5") and weighs approximately 2.4 lb. Installation requires basic wheel service tools — verify thread direction and seating alignment before final torqueing. If unsure, have the replacement fitted by a qualified wheel builder to ensure proper wheel safety and integrity.

Who This Is For

This part is ideal for road cyclists, mechanics and bike shops that maintain Zipp 88 and 188 wheelsets. If you own a Zipp wheelset and need to replace stripped, corroded or missing clinch hardware, this OEM kit restores factory performance and fit. It's also a useful spare for race mechanics and support crews who need compact, reliable replacement hardware for quick roadside or pit repairs — lightweight and precision-made, it keeps wheels safe and riding true.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need the 88 (no-thread) or 188v7 (threaded) variant?

Check your wheel's documentation or the part number stamped on the existing hardware. The 88 variant is the no-thread design; later 188 revisions use a threaded screw (188v7). If unsure, remove the old part and compare or consult your local wheel builder for confirmation.

Can I install this myself at home?

Yes — basic mechanical skills and common wheel service tools are sufficient. Ensure the screw seats flush, threads engage cleanly, and the clinch nut is tightened evenly. If you're unsure about correct fit or torque, have a qualified mechanic install it to avoid wheel damage.

Will this hardware be compatible with non-Zipp wheels?

This is an OEM Zipp part engineered for Zipp 88/188 assemblies. While the dimensions may match some other systems, compatibility isn't guaranteed. We recommend using it only with Zipp-specified hubs and rims to maintain safe fit and function.

How often should clinch hardware be inspected or replaced?

Inspect clinch nuts and screws whenever you remove tires, do heavy maintenance, or after impacts. Replace them if threads are stripped, corroded, or if the parts show visible deformation. For frequent racers or rental fleets, consider keeping spares on hand.

Does this part come with a warranty?

As an OEM Zipp component, it is covered under Zipp's warranty terms when purchased new from an authorized dealer. Retain your purchase receipt and contact Forest Bikes or Zipp directly to confirm warranty eligibility and specific coverage details.

Buying Guide

When buying hub hardware like the Zipp 88/188 clinch nut and screw, confirm your wheel's exact model and revision. OEM parts ensure correct fit and maintain wheel safety — small differences between threaded and no-thread variants can prevent proper seating or lead to damaged threads. Keep a spare set in your toolbox if you race or travel often: clinch hardware is small and easily lost during emergency repairs. If in doubt, purchase through an authorized dealer or have a professional mechanic verify compatibility before installation.
