ENVE is Strong

I repaired an ENVE wheel.

↑As you can see, the rim height is the same front and rear.

This is a wheel I built myself some time ago,
but it crashed during a wet race at Suzuka the other day, and it picked up quite a bit of wobble.

I tried bending the quick release lever on the non-lever side
(bending this side won't actually remove the wheel),

and I brought it back with grass wedged between the tire and rim.

I can only write such ridiculous things because the rider's injuries weren't serious, but

there were several spokes on both front and rear that needed replacement.
I replaced the spokes and trued out the wobble perfectly.
After that I took a closer look at the rim, and it seems fine for reuse.
If this were a rim with low strength around the nipple holes, it would have been done for.
ENVE is tough as nails.

Apparently it's being used again at Maishima tomorrow(or today, since the day's already passed while I've been writing),
but let's be careful about crashing.
