ENVE Wheels with Paul Hubs

Gravel in depth

ENVE SES 3.4 wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the ENVE and Paul parts we build with. The ENVE SES 3.4 is a hookless carbon rim, 25mm inside, 39mm deep, about 370 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Paul FHub Disc hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

• Less stress at the spoke head. Spoke holes are chamfered, and on the WORD the flanges are canted toward the rim. Paul does this to reduce stress on the head and elbow of each spoke.

ENVE M5 Pro wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the ENVE and Paul parts we build with. The ENVE M5 Pro is a hookless carbon rim, 29mm inside, 20mm deep, about 345 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Paul FHub Disc hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

• 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.
• The hub that started single speed mountain bikes. Paul introduced the Wacky One-Speed Rear Device in 1996 and calls it the first purpose-built single speed mountain bike hub. Paul says its 52mm chainline is a standard that continues today.

ENVE SES 2.3 wheels on Paul FHub Disc hubs

Our road pick from the ENVE and Paul parts we build with. The ENVE SES 2.3 is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm inside, 28mm deep, about 275 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Paul FHub Disc hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

• 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.
• High Flange hubs cut from solid bar. Paul machines them in Chico, California from three inch round bar through four machining processes. The 65mm flanges have six window cutouts to save weight, and the rear comes fixed or flip-flop with a stainless lockring.
