I’ve got a cervelo s5, which I love, but I’m not a fan of the wheels that it came with - 62mm deep DT Swiss ARC 1450 discs. So, I’m starting to look for a new wheelset for when I can finally get outside on the bike. On glass smooth roads on a still day the DT Swiss ARCs are super fast; but they are…

The new Enve wheels may be an option…think they are 21mm internal width and available in two different rim depths. https://www.enve.com/en/lp/foundation-road/

I run TL 28s on my 3T C45s and they are comfy, fast and very stable in the wind. Just make sure you have the clearance for wide rim/tire combo.

The new Enve Foundation 45 and 65 wheelsets look to offer a lot at that price point. They are “aero” optimized for 25c and also will work well with 28c tires. There are some limitations in terms of compatible tires but the 25c Conti TL 5000s are listed as compatible (not the 28c though). The 4.5A…

I was surprised at just how much clearance the S5 has. It’s advertised as 28mm max, but I’ve run 28mm tyres (on shallower wider rims) that measure (using vernier callipers) just over 30mm and still had plenty of clearance.

Thanks. These look great and seem to be, relatively speaking, great value. I’m not a particular fan of internal nipples with tubeless tyres though. It’s an arse having to remove the tyre and rim tape to true the wheel, and then as soon as you put the tyre back on and inflate it the wheel probably w…

I’ve got 5 sets of Enve’s, including 2 sets of AMs, 2 sets of M525 and a older set of road wheels and never had to true any of them, so it’s been a non-issue for me.

I just ordered the 65’s :slight_smile:

That’s about as solid a recommendation as one could wish to hear!

Hunt. Aerodynamicist series. Wide, aero, light, tubeless, disc, and great value. Can’t recommend these wheels enough.

There’s a thread on Enve 4.5 AR v 5.6 that might be of interest. Both might fit your criteria: Enve SES 4.5 AR vs 5.6
