So, my big plan from the start was to take off the DT EX500's that came on the Nomad and replace them with Enve Carbon AM rims on Chris Kings.

But after looking at what other options are out there Im thinking about a set of Stans Flows Ex's on Dt 240's. The Stan's have pretty much the same internal/external dimemsions as the Enve's.

Weight wise even switching to the Enve's on DT240's all I'd save is about 200 grams at a cost of over $1k more for the Enve's. While the Enve's are cool I don't think they are $1k cool.

My question is does anyone run Stan's Flow's; either the standard Flows or the Flow EX's. If so how do they hold up and what do think of the quality etc.?

C'mon, Enve/CK was a great idea. You can't put a price on cool. Get'em!

Don't tempt me, I spent the entire day convincing myself I don't need the Enve's. Even Doug at NOTB where I would be buying them from helped keep me from ordering them.

I just want wider wheels, the Flow EX's are pretty much the same as the Enve's.

But I will put the Enve DH's on the V10 if I get it.

Grams don't mean much to me since I'm 20 lbs overweight, I run Easton Havens and love 'em; the magnesiums would look nice on the Nomad C.
