Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which variant (disc or rim) I need?
Check your Zipp ZR1 wheel's brake type — disc-rotor hubs require the disc variant and rim-brake hubs require the rim variant. Confirm part # 11.2018.064.013 or SRAM ID HU-SPP-A0 against your hub documentation before ordering.
What's included in the axle assembly?
The ZR1 axle assembly ships with the rear axle, the drive-side (DS) cartridge bearing pre-installed, and the wave spring for correct axial preload. Other hub bearings or end caps are not included unless specified.
Can I install this axle at home without special tools?
Basic removal and installation can be done at home, but proper bearing seating and preload are best achieved with a bearing press and torque wrench. If you lack tools or experience, a professional wheel mechanic will ensure correct fit and avoid damage.
Is the included bearing sealed?
The included drive-side bearing is a cartridge-style bearing designed for hub use. It is factory-sealed to keep lubricants in and contaminants out, but regular inspection and maintenance are recommended depending on riding conditions.
Can I use the disc variant on a rim brake hub (or vice versa)?
No. Disc and rim variants are designed to match the hub spacing and clearance requirements of their respective brake systems. Using the wrong variant can cause misalignment or improper preload — always pick the correct version.
What is the SRAM Model ID HU-SPP-A0?
HU-SPP-A0 is SRAM's cross-reference identifier for this Zipp axle assembly. It helps shops and parts databases match service items across brands and simplifies ordering replacement components.
Buying Guide
When replacing a hub axle on a Zipp ZR1 wheel, always match the exact hub variant — disc or rim — and confirm part numbers (11.2018.064.013) or SRAM cross-reference HU-SPP-A0. Decide whether you need just the axle or a more complete hub service kit with both bearings and end caps; the ZR1 axle includes the drive-side bearing and wave spring, which handles the most commonly replaced components during routine service. If you're servicing wheels regularly or preparing for races, keep both variants in your spares kit so you can perform same-day repairs. For one-off replacements, have a professional install the axle to ensure proper bearing seating and preload and to protect your wheel's longevity.
