Technology
From the journal
ANY ROAD, ANY TIME
The ENVE 45 uses foundational ENVE technology to create a drag-taming and cross-wind-defying ride. The rim’s width allows for higher volume tubeless road tires and when paired with ENVE’s anti-pinch flat technology, riders will inevitably find themselves exploring roads less-traveled. All said, the ENVE 45 is everything that the dynamic modern road rider needs, and nothing that they don’t.
The 45 is a versatile workhorse of a wheelset equally at home racing a fast four-corner crit and exploring the road-less-traveled.
The ENVE 45 is ready for wherever you want to take it.

Question
JW Kwan –
Hi, I am doing some research on the Foundation 45 wheelset. It states that this is a tubeless wheelset. Can I still run this wheelset with the conventional inner tubes ? If so, what would be the recommended tire pressure ?
Thanks for your attention

Clay Ahlf –
You certainly can run the ENVE 45 with inner tubes as long as you have a tubeless ready tire from the recommended tire list. An additional 5-10 PSI would be sufficient for adjusting from our recommendation.
