I'm thinking the title should be "ENVE Sounds Alarm on poor clincher bead finishing" :-/

That was something I was thinking about. How come these issues haven't been reported with Zipp and other brands?

I want to see the details of their testing protocol. The pics they showed appear to me to be abrasion wear, not any sort of "fatigue failure" as they speculate.

I'm a bit disappointed that certain media outlets published this press release at face value without any basic digging into the claims and protocol...

I've been training and racing on cotton bead for eons. I've never had a failure like this except once on a *prototype* tire. And I've never seen any indication that a failure like this was even likely from tires that I've taken off.

Agree with Tom. This sounds like an ENVE problem, not a cotton-bead-tire problem.
