Not yet, but soon. I think most of us who ordered got the carbon spokes which were out of stock until very recently so stuff is just shipping now.
Carbon spokes, interesting. Any other benefit other than weight savings? They seem to indicate the wheel should accelerate better, but seems like a lot of $ per grams
I currently own (2) carbon spoke wheels and I have been impressed with them. I was worried when I purchased my first wheelset
IIRC 3-4 years ago but had no hesitation with my 2nd set last year.
Here is what I learned along the way when doing the research.
1.) Carbon spokes at 270mm weight just at 2.6g (aero spoke) vs a traditional Sapim CX-Ray at 4.25g.
2.) The tensile strength of the aero spoke is 440kg where compared to the Sapim CX-Ray is 323kg
3.) Carbon spokes have actually been around for a while, but price of entry caused them to be used mainly at pro-level. It is not until recently that we have seen the the price barrier come down.
So, the carbon spoke is lighter and stronger from testing, my personal experience on my road wheels is they offer amazing rigidity and response. This is my first MTB wheelset with carbon spokes, but my theory is that if a stick or strike is going to take one of the carbon spokes out, it will probably do the same to the aluminum.
My Vista-Alpha wheelset is due to ship this week also, I will update with pictures when they arrive.
Probably means the shoe doesnāt fit your foot. Any shoe recommendations wont help because no one knows your foot shape.
Looks like the way to go is the Epic Evo and then make an Epic 8 out of it. Makes sense. Love that color.
Exactly my thoughts. Color is even better in person with a pink and teal shimmer to the white depending on lightangle. Iāll try to photograph it in daylight one of these days
Iāll echo the insoles comment. I recently changed shoes from the Giro VR90 to the S-Works Recon and I couldnāt BELIEVE the difference decent insoles made. The stock insoles were trash and swapping them out just to the $40 Specialized BG insoles appropriate to my arch height made them feel like entirely different shoes, in the best way possible.
I mean, sure, marginal at best, but feel means a lot, especially to me. Like I said, stiffening up the frame around the drivetrain made a huge difference to me, so it got me curios. Iām on a hardtail (and weighing in at 220), these differences in stiffness make a big difference for the mental side, to me, its what makes it feel like a race bike. To a point, Iād love to extract as much performance out of myself as possible, but my ambitions of winning races have slipped in the last few years, hell, Iām riding a hardtail in a place where it is definitely not āfasterā, thereās different ways to approach sport.
That said, Iām sure most cranks these days are āstiff enoughā, but I did notice a difference in a few systems switching around on my CX bike 5+ years ago when I imagine there was a bigger divide.
Beautiful bike. Ive been looking at doing the same.
~12m mark the new enve xc wheels according to them coming āsoonā
Mine came on Friday but Iāve been sick so I havenāt been able to do more than a quick around the block test. All I can say so far is that they are indeed stupid light. Mine weighed in at 1023g vs a claimed weight of 1040g for the build options I chose with a DT240 hub. Rare to see anything come in under claimed weight.
As light as they are, I was hoping theyād tip my Cervelo build to be in the high 22lb range. Itās meaningless, but thatās the goal I had for this build. As it stands Iām at 23.3 ready to ride including pedals, 2 cages, an out front computer mount, and 5 oz of fresh sealant in each tire. To hit my arbitrary goal I probably should have weighed it before I put the sealant in but 
I did this video looking at the new USWE Race 2.0 if anyone is interested.
As a heavy sweater I absolutely would consider one of these for xc mtb. But I canāt get past that white with the red hose. Looks like youāre donating blood 
as you said in the video once you hit mud this thing is gonna get caked. Yes you can chuck it in the washing machine but in my experience these white fabrics never get as clean as when it was new. And then it looks dirty all the time. Iām waiting for other colors.
Yes the colour is a bit ālook at meā easy to wash but as you said will it come out as white? I guess if you didnāt like the red you could just use a camelbak bladder or hose.
Arenāt we donating blood sometimes while out riding??
I have one. Pretty much the same as the prior version with some small incremental improvements.
I like the white so it keeps my mix cooler, no need to drink hot fluids on a long day in the sun. It does wash out fine too.
I had the Outlander Pro (that I seem to have misplaced). I would guess they may only offer this in white since itās a race version and the priority on staying cool. The bladder and hose are just standard hydrapak ones I believe, so you can swap stuff around as youād like.
I think Iām likely going to pick one up
Correct. Same bladders.
