(David Kennedy) First Ride: Enve Aluminum Road Hubs

February 4, 2019

While there are a lot of hub companies to choose from and Enve in the past has partnered with DT Swiss and Chris King, we have a feeling that some of those offerings will be phased out. This doesn’t mean you can’t get your favorite SES or G series wheels with something other than an Enve hub though.

—

Enve has their Front hubs priced at $230 with the rear at $345. When compared to the competition there is a lot you are getting for the price. For more info on the hubs and new build pricing visit Enve.com

February 6, 2019

We see the bike media et. al. falling over themselves to encourage a public dependence on component electronics. And both ebikes and component electronics have an intrinsic designed obsolescence, by virtue of these systems having a limited number of battery cycles. There won’t be ‘vintage’ drivetrains in 20 years as none of the batteries will be usable. I have a birthday coming up, maybe I’m being overly nostalgic to consider this.
