Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

yes 240 hub. I love these wheels and I do not regret going Enve over Boyd. The new brake track on the enve is very good!

Nice. I've run the 240 for a while and love it. Star ratchet is easy to maintain and pretty darn bomb proof.

There are a lot of comments about how great Boyd's customer service is. Why do all these people know about Boyd's customer service?

Because a lot of people email or call with questions on the wheels and I tend to get back to them right away.

Then there's certain things like they ordered something slightly incorrect and we get them taken care of immediately.

There is the occasional warranty and repair that needs to be done and in those cases we always make sure to take care of the customer.

ENVE wheels, since DT hubs are top shelf. I'm actually looking for lightly used ENVE wheels soon. I know guys who use new and used ones with great luck....no issues. If I cannot find a set, I may consider DTs or Kings with Knight Composite rims.

Because people who plan to spend more on wheels than 99 % of America thinks ten bikes should cost ... these people often call or email for a recommendation or assurance that they're buying the right thing or to see if special arrangements can be made in terms of shipping or some other number of spokes or any other thing.

Looks like I am late to the party, but the Boyd's are bomb. Just checked website to verify, they are still offering White Industries Hubs for only $150. Got a little over 1000 miles on my 44mm and love them.
