Hi,

From reviews of Enve 6.7 on the net - their weight usually says around ~1450g for the set with DT Swiss 240 hubs. Looking around at sets of 4.5's or 3.4's they are always the same weight, or maybe heavier depending on what hubs they have.

Is this correct?

Ugh! That must be it....

OH - hang on I see.... So Tubulars were released before clinchers - which is why the reviews I'm looking at don't mention they are tubulars... since they were the only kind available...

I can confirm the weight increases with depth through the line. Clinchers add about 150g to each stated tubular set weight (off the top of my head).

The smallest increase is from 3.4 to 4.5 and that is mainly because the 4.5 design is more recent.
