Won't fit
Or maybe in your living room

32 33mm measured tire are the biggest I would use with enve disc fork
( I've one )
Yeah. Forgot to follow up here. My 30mm G One Speeds are measuring around 32-32.5 right now on some November 50 All Road Rims, and there is not much more room to be squeezed out there.

Agree, I have BJP and they don't fit on my ENVE road disc fork. My BJP do measure out ~36mm,I think the biggest I would feel comfortable with in the ENVE road disc fork is a measured 33mm.

I have the Regular casing currently, based on my experience the EL casing tends to stretch and measures wider than the Regular casing.

I'm OK with the EL being a little wider, but did you notice a significant difference between the EL and standard in sidewall durability? How much of a ride difference did you perceive?

My 44mm EL measure exactly the labeled width on my Crest CB7.

As for sidewall durability, I've gotten into some sh*t i definitely wouldn't have planned for nor intended - and zero issues with the tires. I had more punctures on my Pro One TLE and RapidAir at the same mileage.

Thanks. I'm picking up some Barlow Pass EL and Conti Terra Speed 40s to try out.

Continue terra speed have many positive reviews already. I’m on Barlow Pass EL for dry riding and steliacoom EL for muddy riding, so I am interested to hear your thoughts on how they compare for rolling resistance.

BJP EL is lighter and no less durable (in very limited experience). I've been consistent with the standard casing because when it's a hard fast gravel ride or race and I'm in a pack, mentally I'm more willing to attack the course where the EL always made me nervous about hitting that hole/rock that I couldn't see in time. Again, it's largely mental and the performance difference wasn't significant enough for me to have the worry. Overall, I've had better durability with Compass/RH tires than WTB, Specialized, or Clement tires.

I also have the Steliacoom but only had it in the standard casing. It's been a super durable tire, and is currently on my wife's gravel bike.

Anyone knows a working email or other way to contact the company? The customerservice@renehersecycles.com does not work anymore and there are no emails or contact forms on their web site, as if by intent.

FYI, have been loving the terra speed so much compared to my old Boken tires that I haven't even put the Barlow pass tires on yet.

I agree: An easier, more visible customer interface wouldn't hurt.

Don't bother with Instagram. Contacted them twice recently and have not received any response.
