32C tires on ENVE DISC Road Fork?

I'm considering a second wheelset and was wondering if anyone has photos of 32C tires on the latest ENVE disc road fork? They claim it will clear 32C, but I'm interested in seeing how much space exists above the tire at the crown.

Thanks!

I have the fork you seek and a wheel with 33c tires BUT, the bike is presently in the shop and I don't have access to it. I ordinarily run 28s on it, but that's not answering your question. I can likely check when I get it back next week.

I have WTB Expanse 32s on G23s. They measure 34mm and there’s about 4mm of clearance on each side. I’m on mobile but I can put some pics up later if there’s interest.

I have the fork, but don't have any 32mm tires. If you send tires, I'll take a picture.

Pics would be great, but this is the answer OPs seeking.

Excellent. Thanks all. I’ll check back.
I’ve got Schwalbe 28s on ENVE 3.4s right now and I’d imagine that 32s would be tight but just clear?
Interested to see what you guys have. I’m thinking of 32s for some light mixed terrain stuff

FWIW, this bike is set up w 32s on the same fork and it looks like reasonable clearance to me. Thoughts?

Sounds like this works then.
Thanks!

I don't have the bike yet, but I'm working with Hampsten on a classics bike built around a 32, and Steve recommended the Enve Disc Road Fork.

He said it'll clear a 32 no problem, and maybe a little bigger say 33 can squeeze in depending on the tire, or up to a 650bx38 for when I want to get a little more rowdy on gravel.

Clearance on the pics you shared from Firefly looks fine to me for road or packed dirt, I'd only really worry there if going through an area with lots of chunk gravel rocks with tires that pick up the rocks like GPs seem to do around here, but even jamming one of those in there would be a freak occurrence.

Thanks for the info. Steve knows his stuff so if he says it’s good for 32s then I’d trust him.
The FF I posted isn’t mine, but I asked Kevin if they had any examples w 32s on the regular road fork, so he pointed me to that one as an example.
When I spec’d mine out I thought I’d NEVER ride anything bigger than 28s.... LOL. I didn’t want an all-road but I have a few rougher routes and I’d love to get this bike out there.

This one is mine

I usually ride Enve 3.4 ARs w/ Schwalbe 28s on this bike but a friend gave me these tires to try out.

Anyone have an idea if this fork will fit a 650bx42?

I've got the Road 2.0 Disc thru axle and run 32's on it but am curious if I could swap to 650b with 42's.

I unfortunately don't know anyone who has a wheelset I could trial with, if nothing comes up I'll swing by the LBS.

Thanks!
