I have it. Works fine, but it's less practical for brakepads than horizontal or track dropouts. You'll find yourself adjusting the brakepads often. Provided that you have a rear brake. I ride SS, so I do. Oh yeah, freewheel removal can be hairy - you can't count on the axle to stabilize the freewheel puller. So while I like the bike on which I have the ENO, I know I'll have to destroy this freewheel when time comes to replace it, and all in all, I decided this is the first and last ENO eccentric I bought. The ENO is not heavier than a normal track hub, and it is in all rideability aspects identical.

don't have one personally, but i know from experience that they are wicked easy to adjust and pull that chain tight.

Fantastic product. Not cheap, but worth every penny if you want quality. I've never had any problem with brake pad positioning. Unless you're changing gearing often, once you have your brake pads set to where the wheel is with the proper chain tension, they should stay in the right place indefinitely.

I love to skid around ....well once in awhile. The thread hold up fairly well right??? No cog slippage and stuff..i really hate that.

The thread is fine. nothign to really worry about

Anyhow, it's just an aluminum shell hub - everything that applies to aluminum hub threads, applies to this. Same thing. |

Does anyone else find that it is much easier to set the chain tension with an eno than with track ends? |
