B(ike)log — Road Disc

To help pick out the appropriate set of rims for your custom wheel build, we've broken them into two main groups: Standard Rims & Disc Rims.  To make things easier, we've further broken these groups into Categories, based on their dimensions. (ie Width and Depth) and sorted them according to their Weight. These 3 specifications are the main attributes to consider to optimise your ride performance and overall experience.  Here are some bullet points to help you along: style of riding (ie, criterium, century, touring) terrain (ie, tarmac, gravel, cobbles) distance  gradient  wind conditions optimal tyre size frame / brake clearance -------------------------- ...

Avant-Garde Nuance (AGN) The Avant-Garde Nuance (AGN), is our latest series of E.22 rims.  It is named exactly after our anonymous test team, which features a diverse group of wheel connoisseurs scattered over South East Asia. As the name suggests, it embraces the current reform in the industry, with the goal of testing and delivering vastly superior product, even if concepts are initially unconventional and unaccepted.  This new line presents the hallmark of modernism, and the series of finished products depict our vision of the future.  Essence & Development Two years following the success of the X-Series (nicknamed the Experiment), the AGN takes a...

ENVE SES 4.5 AR Disc wheelset The SES wheelset from ENVE have nailed the elusive sweet spot between aerodynamics, a wider rim width (31 mm up front, 30.5 mm in the back), and low weight (1,583 grams w/ Chris King R45 CL hubs). More specifically, they’re the result of pioneering legwork in the aero-plus segment of the industry. The DI.A crew rode the SES wheelset on a myriad of bikes, each time reaching the same conclusion: across the board, the bikes accelerate quicker, rode with more agility, and were less susceptible to crosswinds (when compared to other similar wheels tested)....

Its that time of the year again for Bike Radar's TOP 5, Dream Wheelsets for 2017. When money is no object, what would you choose: Featherweight? Crazy Aero? Bomb Proof? We're really proud that Enve's SES 4.5AR Disc wheelset made the list.  "We've seen a number of tubular Disc wheels crop up with wider rims for wider tires, but Enve blows this category apart with the SES 4.5 AR wheels with massive 25mm internal rim widths, these carbon clinchers are made for big 28mm tires. And not just in stability and matching the shape of the tire, but the overall...

SMART ENVE SYSTEMDISC BRAKE TECHNOLOGY The SES Disc wheel family represents the combination of the latest SES aero technologies and ENVE mountain wheel technologies to create the fastest, most stable and durable, disc brake specific aero road wheels in the industry. OPTIMIZED FOR AERODYNAMICS & DISC BRAKES Disc brakes remove the design constraints put in place by brake tracks. With no braking surface required, we started from scratch to design an aero rim shape that is solely optimized for bikes with disc brakes. Ultimately, we found that a subtle change in the curvature of the rim at the brake track provided...
