SPOKE INFORMATION
Spoke Selection:
All of our wheels are built with a bladed spoke mated to our brass internal nipple. We use Sapim CX-Ray spokes for our builds, and wheels are built with uniform spokes. There are a few exceptions to this. Our M930 wheel is built DT Swiss Competition spokes or Sapim Force spokes. The Foundation AM30 uses Sapim Race spokes. The Foundation 45 and 65 use Sapim CX-Sprint spokes. Replacement spokes can be purchased through your local dealer. Spoke nipples and spoke nipple wrenches are available on ENVE.com.
Tech Note: To determine which spokes your wheel was built with, look at the spoke head at the hub flange. DT Swiss spokes are stamped with a “DT” and Sapim spokes are blank.
Spoke Lengths:
If you are building a wheel with one of our stock hubs, here is our spoke chart. This chart also contains rim ERD’s.
Tech Note: ENVE’s posted ERDs are already corrected for internal nipples.
