About Enve Composites
In late 2010, Edge Composites announced that they would be changing their company name to Enve Composites. This change was initiated to avoid trademark infringement issues in Europe. Internally, Enve remains the same cutting-edge composites manufacturer with no changes in ownership, management, or staff. Expect great things from Enve in the coming years as they move into a new, state-of-the-art production facility and begin a rollout of new products based on collaboration with the world's top aerodyamics specialists.
Detail
In the creation of the 45 Clincher, Enve has combined their over 25 years of experience in the composites industry to create a better product. This rim combines wind tunnel tested aerodynamics and a reasonably light weight with the convenience of a clincher. A wheelset built with 45 clincher rims is suitable for almost any riding condition, whether the road goes up or down, whether the wind tosses you around or flies with you at your back. These rims can be ridden every day or reserved for the year's most important events.
Using a proprietary molding process in which the spoke holes are molded and not drilled, Enve has created a spoke interface that permits the use of higher spoke tensions without compromising the integrity of the rim. And not only does the spoke interface allow for higher tension, it is designed to enhance the durability of the wheel as a whole by limiting spoke fatigue. The result is a low maintenance, long lasting, and highly durable wheel. Other features of Edge's unique molding process include an elevated brake surface for optimized braking performance and longer rim life, and impact resistant sidewall construction for overall durability.
Each 45 clincher rim includes an Enve rim strip, a 39 mm valve extender, the required Pillar internal spoke nipples, and a pair of Enve's proprietary brake pads - please indicate upon purchase whether Shimano or Campagnolo style pads are required.
Ordering
