So they are inherently a hassle.
Just looked up the cost- $2850 for a set? Hopefully this is a one time hassle and the wheels are without issue moving forward.
In fairness to ENVE, I’ve had good luck with their products. The previous ENVE wheels I had worked well (although they had regular nipples.) And the one warranty issue I had with ENVE they handled more than generously.
Also, I’m guessing that a lot of people who buy ENVE wheels aren’t doing their own maintenance, so it’s the dealer’s hasslenot theirs.
For me, the aggravation is enough to think twice about buying another wheel set with this design.
