Zipp's Lovin on The Rappstar	Can't Post

Went to Zipp.com because, well, actually I didn't really need a reason to, and read the following opening sentence on the 808 Clincher page:

"Ridden by Jordan Rapp to a win at Ironman Canada 2009, the 808 clincher excels whenever the situation calls for an all-around wheelset with a heavy dose of aero attitude."

( http://zipp.com/wheels/detail.php?ID=22 )

Given that a large majority of pro triathletes and cyclists are on Zipp's, I thought it was pretty cool that they chose him to advertise their product.

Congrats to Rapp on reaching prominence. Good luck at IM AZ.

That is pretty cool. Nice to see marketing is consistent, since he did ride an
808 but tubular, not clincher, but they didn't let the facts get in the way. ;)

Yes, Tangente Tubulars 23mm front and rear on a 2009 808 and Sub9 with PowerTap.

Well, all Jordan said was that the tires were tubular.

Would you expect anything less from Zipp?
