ENVE gravel fork + DT RWS TA = Does it work?

[many_styles]

Anyone have this combo? Which exact DT Swiss RWS TA did you use?

That is all.

I do, but it is a custom Paragon Machine Works version. PMW made a custom axle using the DT Swiss head, no longer available. But PMW now makes their own version with their own lever. I did not see the Gravel fork listed last time I looked, but you can contact them.

I did a bunch of research about this years ago and reached the conclusion Enve uses a proprietary axle that DT Swiss doesn't make. This was because I was looking to match the Enve fork's axle, which uses a hex head, to my frame's more convenient DT Swiss lever head. No dice.

PMW is the best source for an Enve-specific axle with a lever:

They don't list the Gravel fork but given the Road/Gravel/AR/Cross forks all use the same axle I think you can select the '100 mm Enve Road' version and be done with it.

I concur with the above, when I ordered the DT-head version, the Gravel fork was new and not listed either.

Thanks everyone! I always wondered why the builder of my bike went with DT in the rear and didn’t use it for the front ENVE fork. Now I know.

Actually I’d rather not order the PMW version, cuz they would still be mismatched.

But… your user name is “many styles”! You could always see if Paragon makes one to fit the rear. In general, they only make what works with their dropouts, but a lot of framebuilders use PMW drops.

Right, but I’m a Designer so I’m very particular too. At least the current ENVE TA is pretty discreet looking.

I contacted them to see if they have of these laying around. Thanks!
