ENVE Wheels with Phil Wood Hubs

Gravel in depth

ENVE SES 3.4 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the ENVE and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs in 24 hole.

• Two bearing choices. Standard bearings have full contact seals and a full fill of Phil Waterproof Grease for wet, dirty riding. Carbonyte bearings have partial contact seals and a 30 percent fill of synthetic grease for lower drag.

ENVE M5 Pro wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the ENVE and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs 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.
• A cassette mechanism with five double-row pawls. Heat-treated stainless pawls engage a 40-tooth ratchet ring in a hard anodized 7075 body. Phil says some backpedal resistance is normal for up to 350 miles of break-in, and it suggests servicing the mechanism at least every three months.

ENVE SES 2.3 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our road pick from the ENVE and Phil Wood 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 Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs 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.
• Classic or Pro. The Pro swaps the Classic's stainless axle and end caps for 7075 aluminum, which Phil says cuts about 34 percent of the weight on its road hubs, depending on the configuration. Check the rating before you choose: Phil lists 280 pounds of rider and bike on Classic hubs and 190 pounds on Pro.
