New machine. Made a last minute audible and decided to get a GS3 to switch things up. I like it. There's more headroom which is nice and the steam wand is a bit more ergonomic being on the left side of the machine - I'm having an easier time texturing milk with this one.

^ good machine.
I have GS3mp, GS3AV, LMLM, almost boght LEVA, you get the point, I have issues hahah
while I can steam on eithrer side, I do not understand why they have some on left and other model on right. and the wand on LMLM and micra is too short imo. on the GS, you cannot change steam power on the run but you can on LMLM micra... ugh...

but I learned the idiosyncrasies of each variant and just deal with it.

That is true - LM allows steam modulation which does sometimes come in handy.

Leva X is a beautiful thing. They now have a single group Strada X which has a bunch of tech in it and an embedded scale. Cool stuff.

Had my front wheel randomly decide to rupture one morning. No impacts and the rim tape was intact. Apparently this is a thing.

Silver lining is that Enve replaced it immediately without any hassle and upgraded the hub while they were at it.

If they call me, they failed. Zoom and that kind of crap is insulting.

glad you have tube
enve is hookless
I have envy, zipp, Princeton, cadex, roval, lwt and hyerion
if money no object LWT is best ( as long as no cross wind)
roval and campy wheel next
roval is really really really good... enve and zipp is 1/10 of roval is and 2x the price.
cadex is 95% as good as roval
Princeton not bad
my enve and zipp all went to landfill
I have 9 sets of roval.. that tells you something and 7 sets of LWT
only three bikes hahhaah

Yeah, apparently Enve wheels like to randomly self destruct. I'm tubeless, but the wheel was holding pressure despite the crack. I did double wrap the rim tape which probably helped.

Reading other people having the same issues, I'm not super impressed with Enve quality, but the warranty coverage was really good/no questions asked. So I guess that's something.

I'll probably get Lightweights one of these days.
