Anyone know how this works?

Looks pretty cool because it apparently takes 3 teeth off the cog and somehow adds it to the chainring. The example they give turned a 35/19 into a 38/16.

I'm guessing that they use their double (16/19) freewheel and match it to a double (38/35) in front.

So you get two gears and the chain length doesn't change. Which is important for lots of single-speeders who have vertical dropouts.

well, I'll be the first to say that the regular ENO cranks are pretty sharp looking. I'll bet they're 300 bucks, though. anyone know more?

I don't get it. If you want a single speed get a single speed. If you want a multi speed you might as well go for the gusto and get one of those derailleur things and put it on you bike.

What’s next a tire that if you mount it one way it had knobby threads flip the wheel and the threads lie down and become a road tire.

And they screwed up the gearing as well. 38/16 on an MTB as the 'big' gear??? Sloooow. And the offroad/climber gear is 35/19. Should have made it 38/41 or so.
