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.

I was able...

I bought the Forte kit from Performancebikes.com. For my Cannondale R300 with Verticals, I didn't need the tensioner.
What did it for me was:
46t Chainring
16t Sproket
1 half link

I bought the kit because it came with the 16t sproket and silver spacers.

Happy Building!
