ENVE G23 Chris King R45D hand-built wheelset

An ENVE G23 rim set laced 24-spoke to Chris King R45D hubs, built by hand in our Marrickville workshop, tensioned, stress-relieved and trued before it leaves the bench. Our Pro wheel build and tubeless tape fitted are included and show as two free lines in your cart.

Before you order — what your bike decides

• Rear axle — 12 × 142 only on this wheelset: measure the inside of the dropouts.
• Front axle — 12 × 100 only on this wheelset: check the fork lowers.
• Rotor mount — Centre Lock only on this wheelset: check your rotors.
• Cassette — Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XDR freehub body: Shimano 11- and 12-speed road / GRX and SRAM 11-speed cassettes fit HG; SRAM 12-speed road and XPLR need XDR.

Colour: pick front and rear separately.

Who it is for

For gravel racing and fast mixed-surface riding on 33–45 mm tyres — ENVE's lightest 700c tubeless rim, with the Wide Hookless Bead against pinch flats. Disc brake, 12 × 100 front / 12 × 142 rear thru-axles.

The rider's questions

• What tyres fit? ENVE optimises the G23 for 33–45 mm tyres and accepts 28–50 mm. Hookless rim: tubeless-ready tyres only, never above the tyre's marked maximum pressure.
• How fast does the hub engage? 45 points of engagement — Chris King RingDrive (45 points), 8° between clicks.
• Warranty? ENVE rims for life for the original owner (5 years for a second owner), with ENVE's crash replacement programme; Chris King hubs under the King Lifetime Warranty for the original owner; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
• How long does it take? Built to order from supplier stock — we confirm the build date by email when you order.
• Colours? Hubs in Black, Silver, Black/Punch, Jade, Matte Jet Black, Matte Mango, Matte Turquoise, Midnight, Red or Violet; the rims are black.

Everything in the Wheelset box is built in. The rows under Upgrades are optional: tick what you want and the price updates. If you want us to lace a rim or hub you already own, that is a workshop job — contact us for a quote.

Sold separately (shown with this kit): tubeless sealant (Muc-Off No Puncture 140 ml), RT-CL700 160 mm Centre Lock rotor, the Shimano SM-RTAD05 adapter (runs a 6-bolt rotor on a Centre Lock hub; not with SM-RT86 / RT76 aluminium-carrier rotors), a cassette for your freehub body, tyres to suit (sizes above). Rotors: one per wheel, to match your rotor mount and your brake caliper's size range.

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, brought up to tension evenly to the lower of the rim and hub limits (ENVE specifies 120 kgf, about 1,180 N, on the front disc side and the rear drive side), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. ENVE's internal nipples sit in a moulded seat inside the rim and are fitted before the tape goes on. Tubeless tape (27 mm) is fitted to the rim; add valves and sealant and it is ready for tyres.

Tune Cycles builds and fits these wheels. If you are unsure what your frame, fork or drivetrain takes, ask us before you order.
