The Eno was a good investment for me and my time not spent with a Mickey Mouse set up. I bought two of them.
The good thing about the ENO is that it solves a problem. The bad thing about the ENO is that it's built badly. The ENO has only two dinky little bearings, and a badly machined inner axle. For a comparison, the much cheaper Surly flip-flop hub has four excellent bearings and top-notch fabrication.
