    Yer offset is definitely 51mm as on the Trek webpage.  I’m looking at the 32’s in 100mm with boost spacing. Thnaks for the feedback so far

    Highly recommend Clement MXP’s for Gravel roads and PDX’s for muddy conditions.

    Mboy good reply in the pro/cons of both. Each to their own on what they like. Cycling is to be enjoyed irrespective of what they use. Anyway have a good weekend to all.

    Firstly WTF you talking about??? One I’m not arrogant and know what I’m talking about. The comments made by Hob Knob that he cracked Carbon rims didn’t mention that it was “Enve”. Daffy also mentioned that they are expensive to replace but as they offer you them at 50% is a good call considering the RRP. Personally I know many people who ride the mtb wheels and swear by them. Besides I’ve never heard of Danny McCaskill or Steve peat breaking them. Have you?…….

    Look on Chain Reaction as has a good selection of carbon road forks including Enve’s at a steal…

    Mac the knife,
    I’ve ridden Enve “road wheels” and they are a world apart on performance compared to a standard open pro alluminum rims. You’d need to try it to appriciate it. Crazy crazy money of course but hey you get what you pay for. Can’t comment on the mtb ones.

    Hob hob doesn’t have a clue if he’s commenting that he didn’t notice a difference between the rims. Enve Rims are at the top of the tree and come at a price but the ride quality is second to none as know of people who ride them. Each to to their own on opinion but the true test is in the pudding.

    Nedraper,
    Regarding your post as above unfortunately not as fine out the box….it’s only after you’ve pulled back the hoods to bleed the brakes and re-fit them back over you notice the baggyness…its most annoying and only new ones will fix it….

    Kimi,
    Relax as really easy to install..do the brakes first then the gears as I found that easier…although my frame has internal cable routing…the brakes do require a lot of bleeding to work effectively but once done they are really powerful..

    Iainc,
    Not sure how to do that:-(. If you do a search on Yahoo and simply type in how to replace Shimano ergo lever hoods there is a few videos showing how to do it. Let me know how you get on:-)

    Andy/Iainc,
    I found a video on you tube and just followed it. A lot of brute force to get them off but much easier going back on…had the Cx bike out on a couple of long rides and no sign of stretching or baggyness. Still as tight as a drum.

    Cheers

    Firstly a big shout out to SJS Cycles as provide a first class service. New hoods fitted (without) taking off clamps and disconnecting cables/hoses. Brute force to get them off but new ones fit like a glove. My origional place of purchase are going to refund me as don’t stock them.

    I’ve just fitted a set of the levers to my Cx bike and have the “Dredded baggyness”. Will contact my place of purchase to ask about replacements. Will let you know.

    Solarider many thanks for your help and will take it up with my dealer. No mention that I’d need it at all. Hatter managed to get one ordered up and paid express delivery so should get it tomorrow. Fortunately I’ve got the tool to tighten it. Many thanks for all your help.

    The lockring fits over the axle it’s just that I can’t tighten it on:-(

    Knew a guy who raced the Grundig World Cup series back in the day and swore it was an all rounder. Magazines are just one persons opinion when writing the article. Test ride it for yourself, hope this helps.
