Zipp® developed the Tangente™ High Performance Cork Brake Pad as a response to the intense heat caused by braking on carbon. These pads are designed for our carbon rims and employ a composite cork polymer to reduce glazing and offer consistent brake response. As a result, the Tangente cork pad avoids the brake pulsation produced by residue buildup from rubber pads and can even eliminate pulsation from rims with previous buildup.Even though the newer silver Tangente Platinum Pro Brake Pad is designed to perform better across all riding conditions, we realize there remain fans of the smooth consistent feel of cork.Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad’s unique shape places more material in the front of the pad to improve durability and shed water. Although the composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber compounds, the Tangente cork pad lasts longer than most rubber carbon-specific pads because of its shape and 0.5 mm greater overall thickness.Select Shimano®/SRAM® or Campagnolo® stylesThe Tangente pad may be used on any tubular or clincher rim with a carbon braking surface, but it should never be used on aluminum braking surfaces.
The redesigned Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is created especially for braking on carbon surfaces delivering smooth speed control and reliable stopping power in all conditions, wet or dry. It also is designed for a longer wear life. Just like a champion cyclist, this pad is a versatile performer.
The Zipp Tangente butyl road inner tube is designed to improve rotational stability by decreasing rotational mass at the valve body.It features a lightweight (weighing 89 grams without a valve extender) aluminium Presta-valve body, 37mm length with a removable valve core. The aluminium valve body saves weight, allowing for a tube that is .85mm thick to optimise durability. Extenders also are available in lengths for each Zipp wheel along with a handy wrench set.

Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Carbon Rim Brake PadsMade for carbon rims, these Brake Pads from Zipp offer enhanced stability and control when braking in all weather conditions.Please Note: The Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is designed for use on carbon rims and has not been approved for use on aluminium braking surfaces. One pair supplied in a pack.Features:A 10 per cent increase in surface area than the previous pad model for greater max braking powerA 1mm thinner design provides improved clearance with integrated brakesDespite a reduced thickness, its increased radial height increases pad lifeIncreased radial height also spreads heat over larger "swept area" of the rim for lower peak temperNew groove design sweeps water off the rim for improved wet-weather braking performanceUniquely formulated compound manages the extreme temperatures that can result from heavy braking on carbon rimsBrake Type: V-BrakeHow many pads included: Pair of pads includedBuy Zipp Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Zipp s race-specific Tangente Speed Road Tyres provide the crucial tools riders demand from high performance tyres, offering superior durability, rolling resistance and cornering grip.57A durometer rubber provides low rolling resistance & excellent gripWater sipping tread pattern provides improved cornering gripDurable and puncture resistant 220TPI casingLightweight and durable folding beadThe Tangente Speed Road Tyres are major upgrades over Zipp s previous offerings in vital qualities most important to road cyclists. For starters, Zipp uses a more advanced durometer rubber, almost 12 months in development, for lower rolling resistance while also gaining improved cornering grip and tread longevity. This enhanced longevity and performance was confirmed by internal testing showing that both rolling resistance and grip both actually improve in the first 100 miles as the tire breaks in. Beyond this, the Tangente Speed also has improved puncture resistance thanks to the tough but lightweight 220 TPI nylon casing that also makes for an extra supple ride. If you want a fast, durable, grippy and comfortable road racing tyre, look no further than the Zipp Tangente Speed Road Tyre!
Zipp's Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads have been designed to offer excellent performance in all conditions. Specially formulated for rims with a carbon braking surface, the Platinum Pro Evo's raise the bar for braking performance and control.Carbon-braking surface specific compound excels in all conditionsGrooves provide excellent water dissipation in wet conditionsDelivers smooth speed control and reliable stopping powerSold in packs of two enough for one brakeOnly compatible with tubular or clincher rims with carbon braking surface do not use on rims with aluminium braking surfaceFull carbon rims with carbon braking surfaces can suffer from poor braking performance in some conditions, so Zipp designed the Tangente Platinum Pro Evos to excel at all times, regardless of the conditions. The compound has been designed to work specifically with carbon brake tracks, providing excellent modulation and control combined with more than enough stopping power. When the conditions turn foul, the grooves in the pad surface dissipate water with ease, leaving the braking performance largely unaffected. If you want fantastic braking performance in all conditions for your carbon rims, look no further than the Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo!
