![]() ![]() The folded seal had clearly allowed water and crud to enter the mechanism and access the 6903 wheel bearings inside. Given this was the first time I had it disassembled, I can only assume the seal was folded during initial assembly at Hunt. Pulling the freehub away from the main hub body, I noticed the labyrinth seal of the freehub body was folded over slightly in two places. While the front wheel bearings are still pretty smooth, with no evidence of contaminants having sneaked past the end-cap seals, the same can’t be said for the rear hub. The pawls and springs are still functioning well, despite having seen a fair amount of contaminants, with none of them sticking down into position. It hasn’t actually sheared any material anywhere, though. As is to be expected, the outboard side has been chewed a little by the cassette with some indentations visible where the smaller cogs push against the splines. Underneath the cassette, the Microspline freehub does show signs of wear. ![]() Some spokes on the non-drive side had a marked loss of tension (by feel), but really I have nothing dramatic to report. I measure it no more than 0.5mm out of true. The wheel itself has no flat spots, but it does now have a very small wobble. So yes, the rim is damaged, but on no occasion was the damage ride-ending. It wasn’t so bad that the tire lost pressure, and there is no sign of any splitting to report. Regardless, in that time I only managed to put one proper dent in the rim. 21 PSI in a rear tire is low, even for a 60 kg rider. I’ve had no trouble getting a fresh tire seated and holding pressure, despite this dentĭuring the test period, there were numerous bottom-out occasions owing to my preference of running fairly low tire pressures. #WOLF NEED FOR SPEED CARBON UPGRADE#Those points considered, and taking into account the 5° engagement hub, the Enduro Wide V2 will undoubtedly present itself as a reasonably attractive upgrade option for many owners of entry-level spec enduro bikes. The wheelset is over 100g heavier than the more expensive EX 1700 SPLINE, but its 2.03 kg was hardly off-putting to us. On the amount of force required to cause initial damage, as well as the amount of force required for “ride-ending” damage, the Enduro Wide V2 rims fared as well as the DT Swiss EX 511 rim, a rim found on the EX 1700 SPLINE wheelset with an RRP 37% north that of the Hunt Enduro Wide V2.Īt £379 for the complete wheelset, the Hunt Enduro Wide V2 is pretty hard to ignore. While the Enduro Wide V2 didn’t exactly blow its competitors out of the water, data from their in-house testing was nevertheless quite impressive given its affordability. Last season, Hunt Wheels released an updated version of their aluminum Enduro Wide wheelset, re-engineering the rim profiles to have demonstrably more impact resistance without adding too much weight.
