Key takeaways are:
Yoke : run for the hills
Trunion: not ideal, but should be OK if the frame is stiff and has good tolerances
Eyelet: just send it
I don't think polygons are renowned to be stiff and well aligned which doesn't help

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
Sounds a bit soft boiled if you ask me.

$250 more than a wireless Reverb with a shittier-looking lever...Fark!!! I don't think the suspension on my bike cost that much.

+/- 5mm is aligned, depending on which direction you look at it from and with 1 or 2 eyes.
Yolk - yoke. Ha ha ha
Enve has their new wheels out with external nipples!. Looks like no rim only option and only their new hubs as a choice. Still pricey and only 5 year warranty. When most manufacturers are offering lifetime and a heap cheaper kinda wonder who will buy these. Guess the ol dentist joke goes here.

Nah the Enve ones sit inside the rim cavity. They are really shit as you cannot true the wheels without removing the tyre and rim tape.Aren't almost all MTB spoke nipples external, or am I missing something here?

Ah, Ok. I just thought it was just road stuff. I agree that is a shit design. What's the advantage, if any? Aesthetics?

The legit roadies will argue the 0.0001% better aero.
Enve reckon it improves spoke and nipple angle where it exits the rim. However, with DT Swiss Prohead, Sapim Polyax (and other brands' equivalents) pivoting nipple/washer designs, you can get the same effect.

What would Roadies know!
What @Stredda said their new rims are now external so no need to dump sealant, strip rim tape, get a special tool and tweak nipples.Aren't almost all MTB spoke nipples external, or am I missing something here?

TBF, I don't think anyone wants to see my exposed nipples.
But on bicycle wheels I believe it's acceptable.

Major pain in the ass. My Enve XC wheels that got promoted from MTB to CX/road duties were 28 spoke and very highly tensioned at a 130kgf if I remember correctly.
A broken spoke meant the wheel was now jammed on the chain stay and with internal nipples, there was no possibility of tweaking the opposing spokes to get home, it was a taxi job on at least 2 occasions.
I detensioned and spoke prepped those wheels to 110kgf and have not had an issue since, though they don't get ridden much either now.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Was originally to have a smaller hole through the rim. Enve don't drill their rims, the holes are moulded in, and the smaller hole makes for a stronger seat for the nipple.
