I mean, I don’t think they are junk. This is just super irritating. I’ve never had difficulty getting another tubeless wheel to work and hold air.

It’s frustrating for numerous reasons, but I was VERY careful with taping and cleaning the rim bed before taping.

They are great wheels with some QC issues. I can’t deal with them any more, though, even if they get replaced by warranty.

From my experiences with envy wheels and seatposts, I wouldn't consider buying another set ever again.

There new frames look nice, not sure I'd buy one though.

My ENVE seatpost is oversized and will hardly fit in my Rock Lobster's ST. The saddle clamping system is also just the worst. I switched back to a Bontrager XXX seatpost almost immediately.

I'm planning to buy a Enve stem and maybe handlebar. Any QC issues there?

I think so. But I had an o ring on there and the TyreWiz. But, Jesus, what a catastrophe.
As someone who loves to trash Enve, I would normally be inclined to mention their "quality", however, this one is on you for not following the instructions:

Not sure why you'd add an o-ring? :noidea:

Hey there. Anyone here would comment on the hub of the new ENVEs? How are these compared to DT Swiss and how are the hubs different from the cheaper foundation 45?

I am getting a pair of 3.4 for my new bike and I have been using DT Swiss for my whole life. I dont really know how the wheels roll in real life.

I have two pairs of wheels with the Enve hubs and I think they're great. One wheel set is over 2.5 years old and still very smooth.

Talking Enve wheels, how is ride feel Enve VS Zipp?
I think that the FC 303 rim brake has a very plush and nice ride feel. More so than any other wheel i have used.
Kind of wonder what other brands have a similar ride feel?
Enve?

Older rims tubs and clinchers stuff had the audacity of not being the stiffest wheel but still harsh vertically
Strange mix

Now maybe better as wider, wider tires etc
