Enve Road Fork Clearance
My EC90 fork doesn’t have the clearance I need anymore. I have Hed Belgium+ rims and Specialized Turbo 26 tires fit just fine but GP4000s and Vitoria Corsa 25s don’t have enough clearance. (Both fit but they rub the fork in different situations.)
I’m considering an Enve road rim brake fork as a replacement. Do any of you have this Enve fork you could post a photo of with your tire setup? I would appreciate any input or other ideas.
Thanks.

With my S1 I could fit 25mm GP5ks on Hed+ rims but only 23mm GP4ks. In my experience, the Hed+ over the Hed C2 made the tires go wider (obviously) but not taller.

OP I have an ENVE fork on a 2015 Cannondale Supersix HiMod frame. I ride HED Belgium+ rims with Conti GP5000 25mm. They fit fine and ride very well. 25mm Corsas and Michelins Power tires are too wide. You can probably keep your fork and just go with narrower tires. The GP5000's are a lot closer to the stated nominal tire width than most other tires.

I ride an ENVE 2.0 rim brake fork using H+Son Archetype 700c rim (23mm wide) with Conti GP5000 28c tires. There's room to spare, fear not. On a sidenote, I love this fork! I should have bought it sooner.

I contacted Enve and they said the Belgium+/ Corsa 25 set up will work. If the Corsa tires are, in fact, too wide I’ll go back to Continental (even if they’re a huge pain to get on/ off). I ordered the fork thanks in part to these replies.
Thanks to everyone who replied.

thats should work just fine. I run the Belgium+ tubeless with the 28c version of that tire on that form so you’ll be just fine.
