I was able to ride a few miles on a Trek Emonda with and without Enve SES 6.7, in rim braking flavor. They made a profound difference in how the bike rode and felt. Worth the asking price, I thought. But I have discs, and I ride a lot of dirt roads, too. The new 4.5 AR sound like they should have my name on them.
I'm wondering if hitting a washboard surface descending at speed is going to be a problem. Can't really see it until I'm on top of it, so it happens. I killed a set of OEM wheels, I assume it was the washboards and the climbing ... and the cheap spokes. But now I'm nervous, and these aren't cheap.
I'll get the DT 240 hubs if I get these.
