Enve just released their new SES wheels going hookless on the 2.3, 3.4, 4.5, and 5.6 with a wider internal width (5.6 is 23 mm). But the 7.8 remains unchanged with a hooked design and 19mm internal width. Dan mentioned a few months ago that we should see triathlon wheels starting to go hookless this year perhaps before Kona. So why go hookless on all the wheels except the 7.8? Or the better question is, why didn't the 7.8 go hookless?
