Corgi DadA note on a broken front bike wheel (ENVE SES 4.5)
I was going to take the Pinarello out today, but I noticed one of the spokes on the front wheel had come off the hub...the picture shows the spoke resting on the broken part, but it can move freely... It looks like the part that keeping the spoke in place on the hub had somehow broken off, which is very weird because I hadn't ridden this bike for 4 months, and last time it was fine.
I submitted a warranty claim to ENVE which has lifetime warranty for wheelsets. They responded very quickly and asked for pictures of serial numbers. But man tubeless setup is sooooo annoying. It took so much effort to take the tire off because everything has to be airtight. With sealant splashing everywhere and slippery it hurt my fingers trying to push the tire rim off 🥹
I had to do this because the serial number is under the rim tape (again, required for tubeless setup). It was a pain to take off the rim tape too!
But glad that ENVE warranty is so good!
