In this special episode of the Zipp Speed Podcast, we take of look at the fascinating century old ties between bicycle racing and motorsports. That linage eventually would lead to the creation of Zipp Speed Weaponry more than 30 years ago, and still plays a role in Zipp’s speed innovations today. SRAM’s home of Chicago also played a central role in popularizing bicycles, as we will see.
Eder Frayre of Mexico is a national champion and Olympian. He’s also a key support rider in L39ION of Los Angeles’ sprint strategy, but he’s also a capable climber with the panache for long solo breakaways. In this episode of the Zipp Speed Podcast, Zipp content manager Dan Lee gets to know Eder, his upbringing in Baja California, and his dramatic journey to last summer’s Tokyo Games. Eder even reveals his first experience with Zipp wheels back when he was 15.
L39ION of LA Chief Mechanic Zack explains what it takes to be a team mechanic, from prepping the bikes to being part of the broader team culture. He also details the changing nature of road cycling tech, including disc brakes, Zipp wheels, and tubeless tires.
Zipp Speed got a lot fast this road season with the addition of L39ION of LA to our roster of professional racing teams.

What makes a Zipp wheel a Zipp wheel? Innovation and design do, for sure. But another critical component is testing and verification. The Zipp factory in Indianapolis is home to an extensive test lab, where Zipp wheels are subjected to extreme conditions of all kinds to ensure they’re ready for you.
