Hold one leg of the fork securely and, using an appropriate race seating tool, install the headset crown race.You do not need a split crown race for installation on our forks. Only use a headset race with the correct inside diameter for your fork steerer tube. Do not make any modifications to the crown race area of the fork. Apply a small amount of grease to the fork crown race seat (pick any grease you desire- carbon prep is also acceptable).Any damage to the steerer tube could cause failure. Avoid scratching or scoring the steerer tube surface.Remove any burrs or sharp edges with 320/400 grit sandpaper.

The result is a purpose built full carbon fiber XC wheelset that is lighter, wider, and more vertically compliant without sacrificing strength or reliability. Compliment increased tire volume and rim width with a modern XC tread, and you’ve got an effective system, maximized for the up and down trail. Undoubtedly, this means they can go further and faster with more confidence. Today, riders can improve comfort, efficiency, and control by adapting their mountain bikes perfectly for the terrain and trails. Modern XC racers and riders who demand equal uphill to downhill performance, lightweight, durability, and vertical compliance for long hours in the saddle.Ĭarbon fiber is responsible for unlocking the potential of bigger and wider on mountain bikes. Reduced fatigue and a more compliant ride through shape, laminate, and spoke-hole optimization. A more forgiving buffer between rim and trailĪ purpose built XC wheelset without limitations.The option to run lighter weight tires if desired.Ability to run lower tire pressure and improve traction and rolling resistance.60% improvement in pinch flat resistance over other hookless rims.In addition to greatly improving tire performance and reliability, the wide hookless bead design beefs up the leading edge of the rim and allows for greater impact resistance.ĮNVE Wide Hookless Bead (Patent Pending) delivers: This broad surface creates a more forgiving platform on which the tire can bottom out, and proves extremely effective in reducing the likelihood of “pinch” or “snake-bite” style flat. The result is a rim shape that features a wider leading edge of the hookless bead. While destroying an expensive tire on a weekly basis isn’t affordable, it’s a complete interruption of flow, and an utter buzzkill with a flat tire, regulated to the side of the trail.ĮNVE’s wide hookless bead is the result of 2 years of carbon mountain bike rim development to address this above scenario. Wearing a tire tread down to the casing is a thing of the past as most tires are lucky if they survive 50 miles of aggressive riding over obstacle laden terrain.

ENVE Wide Hookless Bead technology is found exclusively in the M Series 525, 630, 635, and 640 model wheels where weight savings is valued over ultimate high impact and pinch flat durability.Īs carbon rims have become hookless and increasingly more durable, we have transitioned from rim failures to tire failures.
