Hi, looking at Zipp or Enve wheels (again)...wasnt too impressed with my previous 2012 older FC 404 hubs...loved the rims but the rear one kept coming loose and the back pretty flexy...

Has anyone tried the new v9 compared to the previous gen? worth looking at or avoiding?!

    very common issue, The hub preload adjustment hasn't changed, I believe, so there is no reason to believe this one won't come loose.

    Why don't you speak to Just Riding Along, so you can have Enve built to the hubs you prefer, instead of the ones the factory has chosen for you...? Money wise should be pretty much the same

    Never really understood why zipp don't just sell the rims. The hubs put a lot of people off.
