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.
I just managed to remove my freewheel using a lockring tool. took a lot of puffing but it worked. I couldn't get the free wheel tool on cause the cam of the hub was in the way. I was running a second fixed hub suicide for the track, then I put the freewheel on to practice some spinning. It took me weeks to get it off. tried hammers and spanners and screwdrivers, but the lockring tool worked quite well in the end.
Does anyone else find that it is much easier to set the chain tension with an eno than with track ends?
