DIRECTOR MICHAEL HALL AND PR
CONTENT MANAGER DAN LEE.

7
00:00:35.168 --> 00:00:47.580
WELCOME!
>> I'LL START WITH YOU.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THE COMPANY
BUT I MENTION TOUR DE FRANCE.

YOU CAN SEE AN OLDER AND NEWER
ONE IN FRONT OF THE SET THEY ARE
SOME OF THE BIGGEST STAGES IN

9
00:00:55.455 --> 00:01:03.062
THE WORLD.
>> THAT'S RIGHT FOUNDED IN
1988 BY AN AUTO RACING ENGINEER
AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT SPEED

10
00:01:03.062 --> 00:01:11.438
WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE GAME
AND SO IT TOOK US A TIME FIRST,
WE BROKE INTO PRO CYCLING AND
NOW OTHER EVENTS RIGHT NOW

11
00:01:11.438 --> 00:01:20.346
ANYTHING WITH ROAD BIKES.
>> THE GROWTH IS SUBSTANTIAL
SINCE 1988 YOU WERE ACQUIRED BY
CHICAGO BASED SCHRAM ABOUT A

12
00:01:20.346 --> 00:01:26.953
DECADE AGO AND THAT HELPED
GROWTH AND YOU HAVE 300
EMPLOYEES ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE
OF INDIANA.

13
00:01:26.953 --> 00:01:32.325
>> A FULL MANUFACTURING SITES
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF INDY IN
PIKE TOWNSHIP AND WE HAVE GROWN
THERE.

14
00:01:32.325 --> 00:01:37.597
WE WERE HOME IN SPEEDWAY FOR A
LONG TIME BUT OUTGREW THAT AND
GREW NORTH A LITTLE BIT AND
THAT'S BEEN A GREAT HOME FOR US

15
00:01:37.597 --> 00:01:46.739
AND A LOT OF GREAT ENGINEERS
COMING OUT OF INDIANA WITH MANY
WITH MOTOR SPORTS EXPERIENCE.
>> MICHAEL, YOU ARE A GREAT

16
00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:56.549
EXAMPLE OF THAT.
YOU ARE A REFORMED MOTORSPORTS
SO YOU ARE A MORTAR SPORTS GUY
INTO BICYCLING.

17
00:01:56.549 --> 00:02:04.824
>> SO IT WAS A FUN TRANSITION
FOR ME SO I ALWAYS WORKED ON
DESIGNING RACECARS, BUT I NEVER
GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE PRODUCT.

18
00:02:04.824 --> 00:02:10.964
IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT IN WITH
ZIPP WHERE I COULD DESIGN THE
PRODUCT, UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S
MADE AND READ THE PRODUCT FOR

19
00:02:10.964 --> 00:02:16.369
MYSELF.
THAT GIVES ME FEEDBACK AS AN
ENGINEER AND IT WAS FULFILLING
TRANSITION FOR ME.

20
00:02:16.369 --> 00:02:23.910
>> GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA BECAUSE
YOU SAY HI TECH.
I DON'T THINK IT DOES IT JUSTICE
THE TECHNOLOGY, R&D AND THE

21
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:31.484
THINGS THAT GOES INTO THE WHEELS
ARE OFF THE CHARTS.
>> ALL RIMS ARE MADE OUT OF
CARBON FIBER SO BASICALLY IF YOU

22
00:02:31.484 --> 00:02:37.824
THINK ABOUT PIECES OF FABRIC
THAT WE ASSEMBLED ONE BY ONE A
RIM WILL HAVE 20 DIFFERENT
LAYERS AND ALL THAT IS

23
00:02:37.824 --> 00:02:45.732
ENGINEERED FOR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION.
IT TAKES US ABOUT 20 HOURS TO
MAKE A RIM AND REALLY HERE IN

24
00:02:45.732 --> 00:02:53.373
INDIANAPOLIS WE DO THE DESIGN
AND DEVELOP THE MANUFACTURING
PROCESS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
>> THE EFFECT THEY ARE HERE

25
00:02:53.373 --> 00:02:59.312
AND STARTED HERE AND REMAINED
HERE AND GROWN HERE HAS BEEN
INTENTIONAL THAT CONNECTION TO
SPEED.

26
00:02:59.312 --> 00:03:07.854
THE CONNECTION TO MOTORSPORTS.
ALL OF IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT A LOT OF THE
INDUSTRY ARE IN THE MOUNTAIN

27
00:03:07.854 --> 00:03:16.996
SPACE, BUT WE ARE PURPOSE FOR
BEING HERE AND THAT'S WHY
THEY'VE INVESTED HERE IN INDY
AND AS I SAID WE KNEW IT WAS A

28
00:03:16.996 --> 00:03:26.439
WIND TUNNEL A COUPLE OF MILES
AWAY FROM OUR OFFICE IN WINDY.
WE HAVE ROSE HOW AND PERDUE TO
RECRUIT ENGINEERS FROM.

29
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:34.213
AND WE ARE ONLY THREE HOURS FROM
OUR HEADQUARTERS.
>> TALK ABOUT THE WIND TUNNEL.
YOU HEAR WIND TUNNELS IN

30
00:03:34.213 --> 00:03:41.554
MOTORSPORTS AND THE AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY, BUT IN BICYCLES AS
WELL.
>> I CUT MY TEETH IN THE

31
00:03:41.554 --> 00:03:51.698
DEVELOPMENT WORK AND BASICALLY
DESIGNED CAR FOR INDY RACING AND
I TRANSITIONED INTO ZIPP AND IT
WAS A NICE FIT BECAUSE THAT WAS

32
00:03:51.698 --> 00:03:57.737
REALLY KNOWN FOR PIONEERING
DEVELOPMENT IN THE WIND TUNNEL
SO WE PICKED UP SOME STUFF WE
WERE DOING AND MOTORSPORTS AND

33
00:03:57.737 --> 00:04:04.210
BROUGHT THAT TO THE BIKE
INDUSTRY AND WE'VE REALLY BEEN
ABLE TO ADVANCE THE PRODUCT
EXPONENTIALLY OVER THE YEARS.

34
00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:12.218
>> AS WE WRAP UP WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE ZIPP WHEELS.
GIVE A BIG EVENT COMING UP SOON
AND WE WILL SEE THESE ON A

35
00:04:12.218 --> 00:04:17.790
NATIONAL STAGE.
>> NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE OUT IN
HAWAII GETTING READY FOR THE
IRON MAN.

36
00:04:17.790 --> 00:04:24.864
TO FORMER WINNERS AMONG OTHER
PROFESSIONALS ON THE WHEELS
THERE ON THE BIG ISLAND.
>> DAN LEE AND MICHAEL HALL

37
00:04:24.864 --> 00:04:25.865
FROM ZIPP SPEED.
