I received a Smart Envision Systems 3.4 disc wheel from a customer.
Starting with the rear wheel.
Both front and rear wheels are stock wheels made in-house by Envision.
Since this is a rim designed for disc brakes, there's a sticker with "DISC" printed on it
to prevent using rim brakes.
Chris King through-axle disc hub
with center-lock rotor attachment,
both wheels are 24H all-black CX-RAY 4-4 reverse Italian laced.
Having the rear wheel reverse Italian laced is very American.
The stickers around the valve hole on Envision rims used to have
one side saying "Handmade in USA" and
the other side showing the rim's serial number.
Since the manufacturer would need to reissue stickers with a serial number
if they made a mistake applying it,
that must have been a pain—at some point they switched to
having both sides say "Handmade in USA,"
but on what appears to be the latest version of this wheel,
the other side now shows the rim model name instead.
The wheel had virtually no runout, just a slight centering issue.
Fixed it.
Next up, the front wheel.
It was perfectly centered and had virtually no runout.
With in-house manufactured wheels,
the non-removable label on the rim's outer edge shows
the model name and serial number, plus
the name of the person who built it. By the way, different people built the front and rear wheels.
The front hub is 12mm through-axle, so
the rotor lock ring can use
a cassette sprocket tool to turn it,
but the rear hub, despite being 12mm through-axle,
can only use a Hollowtech II bottom bracket tool
due to the shape of the hub's components,
and you have to remove the bearing adjustment nut first.
