It has never been my position to re-brand or re-label product like a lot of other builders do. In addition I know I can far benefit more from the work that ENVE has put in.

The decals are the style that are all the rage right now....not meaning the design but the process. They are premolded and then placed into the molds when the rim is made. This bonds it into the carbon matrix. They aren't coming off. Most builders are going this way. I chose not to go that way on the last rim I did the mold for. Instead we molded a p into it..... . Just wait.
