Review: The Cannondale Bad Habit Is Actually Pretty Good
Getting the front wheel off the ground is the main con. Just have to make an honest assessment of its importance in your riding. For me the bike handling properly in corners and at speed outweighs the cons by a lot.
Regardless I think you could probably go substantially longer than your current Pivot and find the front wheel lofting acceptable.
Anecdotally I had no major issues getting the wheel up with 450mm chainstays/1300mm wheelbase despite a beefy build. My current bike with 466mm chainstays/1335mm wheelbase...yeah it's a struggle. But the bike is otherwise magic.

Correct. Pretty different otherwise though. Different drive ring configuration, much bigger ratchets.

@wyorider: are Enve's hubs made by SRAM?

@Apfelsauce: looks like TPI in the photo. Considered pretty good as far as I know.

Nonplus Torqon apparently use aluminum ratchets, that's novel (and obviously lighter). I'm not saying it can't work but I'd have to read quite a few long term testimonials to be convinced to lace up a set myself.

Is WT manufacturing the patented hub internals in the US or just the shells are made by WT and the rest is Enve's stuff from SE Asia?
I think the hubs potentially have merit regardless (Innerdrive looks clever, now you get to run it with standard J bend spokes, pretty colors, WAO rims instead of what Enve offers).
But I think we should be clear about what is made where. For some people that is a major selling point.

Project321 G3Ti Release Titanium Driver E-Bike Hub
@theoskar57: what exactly was the failure mechanism on the DTs? The ratchet teeth broke? The inner splines of the drive ring broke? Or the outer threads of the drive ring - and if so was it the ring/the hub shell/both threads that were ruined?

Agreed, I'd opt for the Ti model. Not that I've broken a standard G3, but 2.5° still seems like plenty for engagement and I'd rather the extra insurance in terms of durability than one more degree/one less ounce.
