How it works

From parts bin to your doorstep

  1. Pick your parts1

    Pick your parts

    Choose a ENVE rim, then the hub, spokes and nipples. The builder only offers parts that fit together.

  2. We measure and prep2

    We measure and prep

    Rim and hub are measured here: real ERD, real flange geometry. Spokes are cut to the length your build needs.

  3. Laced by hand3

    Laced by hand

    One builder laces your wheel on the stand. No machine builds, ever.

  4. Tensioned and trued4

    Tensioned and trued

    Brought up to even tension, stress-relieved, trued round and true, and checked again after it settles.

Custom hand built wheels with ENVE Composites rims

ENVE makes many of its premium products in Ogden, Utah, and publishes rim-specific spoke tension and torque figures - which is exactly the kind of documentation that makes a rim pleasant to build with.

We lace ENVE Composites rims to the hub of your choice and build the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop - tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. You pick the hub, spoke gauge and color, nipple material and lacing pattern; we make sure the combination is one that can actually be built.

Why ENVE rims are different

  • Molded spoke holes. ENVE forms its spoke and valve holes in the mold instead of drilling them, so the carbon fibers stay uncut. Drilled carbon needs extra material to restore its strength, and ENVE says skipping that saves weight without giving up durability or stiffness.
  • A seat for internal nipples. Where a rim uses internal nipples, a molded cone behind the hole lets the nipple pivot like a ball in a socket, so the spoke leaves at the same angle the nipple sits. ENVE says the lower bending stress means less truing and fewer fatigue breaks.
  • Locking nipples on M Series. M Series rims pair the molded holes with external nipples. Each brass nipple carries a Nyloc insert to hold spoke tension and keep the wheel true.
  • M Series front and rear rims do different jobs. On models like the M6, the front rim runs wider for more tire support, lower pressure and more traction, with a narrower edge to save weight. The rear gets a wider edge for pinch-flat and impact protection, because ENVE says that is where damage is more likely.
  • A shallow mountain profile. M Series rims sit at about 20mm deep with concave sidewalls. ENVE uses that shape to balance compliance, weight and durability.
  • Four years of rim testing. ENVE says the current M Series took 322 prototypes and 1,270 rims over a four-year project with pro riders and teams.

The ENVE Composites rims we build with

Every ENVE Composites rim we build with is carbon. That gets you a stiffer, lighter wheel, and it means the rim is a lifetime part rather than a consumable - provided the wheel is built to an even tension so no single spoke ever loads the rim bed on its own.

Internal width is the number that decides your tire. The ENVE Composites rims we carry sit mostly in the 21.0-30.0mm band, and that band is what determines the tire sizes that will take a sensible shape on the rim - too narrow and a big tire rolls on the sidewall, too wide and a small tire is left square and harsh. Tell the configurator what tires you run and it will steer you inside the right band.

What to pair with a ENVE Composites rim

A wheel is a system: the rim decides the tire and the braking, the hub decides the drivetrain and the axle fit, and the spokes have to suit both. Start from whichever end matters most to you and the configurator will keep the other end compatible.

Popular ENVE rim and hub pairings

Hubs our customers build with each ENVE rim, led by the pairings they choose most often in our build records since 2009. Every hub listed is in the builder today in a drilling and brake type that fits; tap a rim to start that build.

Every model of both brands that fits, on one page: ENVE wheels with Chris King hubs, ENVE wheels with DT Swiss hubs, ENVE wheels with Industry Nine hubs, ENVE wheels with White Industries hubs, ENVE wheels with Phil Wood hubs, ENVE wheels with Onyx hubs, ENVE wheels with Hope hubs, ENVE wheels with SON hubs, ENVE wheels with Velocity hubs, ENVE wheels with Paul hubs, ENVE wheels with Bitex hubs, ENVE wheels with Boyd hubs, ENVE wheels with Shimano hubs, ENVE wheels with Velo Orange hubs, ENVE wheels with Wolf Tooth hubs

ENVE Composites custom wheel questions

Can you build a wheel with a ENVE Composites rim I already own?

Yes. Choose the supply-your-own rim option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length for that exact rim. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.

What tire width suits a ENVE Composites rim?

The ENVE Composites rims we carry are mostly 21.0-30.0mm internal, which covers most modern tire choices for their intended use. Tell the configurator what you ride and it will keep you in a sensible tire-to-rim ratio rather than leaving you to work it out.

Is a carbon ENVE Composites rim worth it over aluminum?

It buys stiffness and lower rotating weight, and the rim itself should outlast several aluminum rims. The trade is repairability: an aluminum rim can often be trued back from an impact that would end a carbon rim. If the wheel is for winter training or loaded touring, that matters.

How many spokes should a ENVE Composites wheel have?

It depends on your weight, the terrain and the rim, not on the brand. The configurator recommends a count from your bike type and rider weight, and will not offer a count that cannot be laced to the parts you picked.

How long will my ENVE Composites wheel take?

Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.
