Has Anyone Installed Enve Wheels?

I'm asking because the description of their wheelsets states that the front and rear wheel were engineered differently to reflect the needs of both the front and rear of the bike.

Being that our wheels are basically reversed, would this be an issue?

I'd also like Enve wheel recommendations as well. Wanting to speed optimize it for every day riding too. Anyone selling a set? lol

I saw a guy riding on a set of ENVE wheels and they look like great wheels. Apparently they also have a great warranty that you really should check out. If I were in the market for new wheels, they would be on the short list along with HED Jets. I have never seen used Enve wheels for sale if that is any indication for a good wheelset.
To have a disc on the rear of my V20, and a 90mm on the front would make me smile more than a little, but twin 90s would as well.
 
I’m very happy with my Enve SES 4.5 ARs. They are suitable for the 30mm tires I prefer.70015199-1D0B-4A57-843A-8C716FA3BF74.jpeg Yes, the front & rear are different, supposedly for aerodynamics & stability. I had Wheelbuilder.com put the front rim on the drive wheel for this reason. You might be able to have your LBS assemble a set this way for you. I run them tubeless.
Another issue is that these rims have limited tire compatibility.

I believe Jason had a set made reversing the standard front rear bias.

I use a set of 6:7 with the 70 on the front. Does it make any difference. Yes according to enve in that the wheelset front rear work together with different depth and width.

when I ride them they ask “ what’s going on ? What is happening ? Why are we going backwards so fast ? “.

i do not feel any difference with this wheelset reversed. It looks great on a V2 or v20.

here’s an old pic.
