Warning: How to Destroy an Enve 7.8 Rim
Check out this video. Rim was taped with Silca tubeless tape. Can you guess how the rim was destroyed?

8 Seconds of Destroyed Enve 7.8 on Vimeo

Hint #1: The tire did NOT exert outward pressure and damage the rim; in fact, the rim track is intact on the rim and the tire is seated even after the destruction.

Hint #2: Rim was taped with Silca tubeless tape, and not ENVE tape.

BTW at some point Enve uploaded a video to their website, which, if you watch it, specifies that you must use ENVE tape, but I'm not sure when the video was uploaded and I can't find anywhere else on their website specifying this requirement, so basically unless you find and click on the video you have no way to know that using other tubeless tape, even tape that perfectly seals the spoke holes, is a potentially fatal mistake.

Now... can you guess how exactly the rim got destroyed?
