ENVE M Series HV Rims VS Mountain Tire Sizes | Product News / Reviews

Posted by Elite Custom on

Link to Original Article: enve.com  With the whole “wide wheel” craze seemingly erupting all around us in the media and the popular forums, we asked our engineers, from a scientific perspective: Is wider always better? Let’s knock out a couple of myths about wide wheels.   MYTH #1 – RUNNING A WIDER RIM INCREASES EFFECTIVE TREAD. Maxxis High Roller II Geometry   As you can see – rim width does very little to affect tread width, assuming you are running an appropriately sized rim for your tire.  With the Maxxis High Roller II, a 2.3″ tire, there are infinitesimally small tread width gains...

Enve Carbon Hub on SES 2.2 Prototypes? | Product News / Reviews

Posted by Elite Custom on

Was watching this video of the Enve 2.2 prototypes being presented by Enve's CEO - Sarah Lehmen at the Tour de France and those hubs caught my attention.  Anyone knows what those hubs are?

A slow response from the competition combined with a considerably steep price tag opened the door to several clever manufacturers seeking to fill what amounted to a gaping hole in the drivetrain market. While some offered larger add-on cogs or aftermarket derailleur links, Praxis Works has opted to skip what some saw as a bandaid approach and instead developed an entire wide range 11-40...

ENVE Garmin Mount | Modifications

Posted by Elite Custom on

The Enve Garmin Mount has been the answer to the prayers of many who own an ENVE stem and a bike computer with a Garmin interface, like the Wahoo RFLTK. The Enve Garmin mount has been easy to use and there has not been any installation issues cropping up. However, some enquiries we've been getting led us on to this modification project.  Q. Can the Enve Garmin Mount fit a Garmin 1000? A. The manufacturer's answer is that it is indeed possible but it has to be at the highest of the 4 reverse mounting positions - this is absolutely correct. However, some may...
