ENVE M635 Chris King hand-built wheelset

An ENVE M635 rim set laced 28-spoke to Chris King 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 — Boost 12 × 148 only on this wheelset: measure the inside of the dropouts.
  • Front axle — Boost 15 × 110 only on this wheelset: check the fork lowers.
  • Rotor mount — Centre Lock only on this wheelset: check your rotors.
  • Cassette — the freehub body follows it: Shimano 12-speed MTB is Micro Spline, SRAM Eagle is XD, Shimano 11-speed and older (and CUES LG) is HG. Offered here: Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD.

Colour: pick front and rear separately.

Who it is for

For trail riding on big 2.5–2.8" tyres — the wider M6 rim, 35 mm inside, for grip and support at low pressure.

The rider's questions

  • What tyres fit? ENVE recommends 2.5–2.8" tyres on the M635. Hookless rim: tubeless-ready tyres only, never above the tyre's marked maximum pressure.
  • How fast does the hub engage? 72 points of engagement — Chris King RingDrive (72 points), 5° 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, Jet, Midnight, Slate or Violet; the rims are black.

Kit includes

Options: freehub Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD · hub colour Black, Silver, Black/Punch, Jet, Midnight, Slate or Violet · tubeless valves (50 mm, up to 2).

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 180 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, stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. ENVE's own nylock nipples, supplied with the rims, seat in ENVE's moulded spoke holes. Tubeless tape (39 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.

ENVE rims carry ENVE's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects for the original owner (5 years for a second owner), plus ENVE's crash replacement programme for accidental damage. ENVE requires its own nipples for that warranty — they are what we build with. Chris King hubs, bearings included, carry the King Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects for the original purchaser (chrisking.com/pages/king-lifetime-warranty). Our build — lacing, tension and truing — carries our workmanship guarantee. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles: bring the wheel to Marrickville or contact us with your order number and we handle it with the brand. Wear, crash damage, corrosion and incorrect fitting are not covered.
