Enve 6.7 pulsing

As above enve 6.7 pulsing when braking hard on the front wheel,using swiss stop black prince.
Never had any problems with the enve pads but braking not so good compared to the swiss stop.

I get this on 808s with Black Prince Evos; braking on my 45s with Enve pads is much smoother but, as you say, ultimately less powerful.

I swap wheels between bikes and find this with swiss stops, not an issue with Enve pads.

But tbf fair, I'm not a hard braker.

Been down that route and you will also get excessive wear of the rim.

Furrthermore, the Enve pads are not as good at braking but have a metallic element contained within that transfers heat from braking area to pad holder - this is then used as a heatsink to prevent pads overheating. Use Swisstop and you may run into warranty issues.

Any chance the rim is not perfect? Carbon rims that slightly bulge are not unheard of

In my case I'd call it grabbing, not pulsing. Pulsing you can feel in the lever; this is more about the actual braking effect not being consistent - the pad "catches" and then "releases". This is only when braking hard, and appears to be transient through a specific lever pressure range.

You are right its only when braking hard.
Enve pads now back in
