This week's wheel build of the week is another stunning pair of Gold Chris King R45D hubs laced to ENVE Foundation 45 rims.

Made in the same Utah facility as ENVE's top of the line SES rims, these Foundation 45's (and the deeper Foundation 65's) represent one of the best value, USA made rims available sharing much of the same technology as ENVE's more expensive rims.

The 45's are an incredibly versatile rim that's equally at home on long, hilly road rides, fast crits and gravel. Available from $1182 (with ENVE's own hubs) or as a custom build with Chris King, White Ind, ONYX, I9 hubs.


Looking for your own set of custom wheels? Just contact us for a quote. Just bear in mind lead times on many hubs and rims are 12+ weeks right now, so it's best to start planning ahead for next season!
