Theta2 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 It is payday and time for a new freewheel Has anyone used the ENO and SL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Dude get an SL much better freewheel, I have had both The ENO doesn't even have exactly the correct thread. Eno is a very out of date product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eno is a very out of date product I wouldn't say its out of date! It is however overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would and for the following reasons: The thread isn't quite what it is meant to be. The engagements are relatively low. The removal system is just a joke. The lockring is on the wrong side. They are not particularly reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theta2 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just a quick note, I'll be using the freewheel on the rear hub, not as FFW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've had two ENO's and the lockring has never come lose. So why does it need to be against the crank? Also, what's wrong with the removal system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The ENO doesn't even have exactly the correct thread. Do we know why they've done this? American? And 1.375" rather than 1.37"? Always had trouble getting ENO's off, had my SL for a couple of weeks now, love it, get one . Cheers, Josh.

CalopS Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) I got an eno about a year ago second hand and love it dispite the comments made, but If I was buying a brand new one I would probably go for the SL The removal system is pretty poor. The last time I did it I had to grind the tabs square with a dremel because they were so mashed up.

Greetings Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The Eno is great as a concept but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I wouldn't say its out of date! It is however overpriced. It's American. Besides they can be purchased cheaper than £85. I don't know how anyone can say it has low engagement seeing as 72 is pretty much standard still. You might as well buy an Echo as every person under the moon will tell you to unless they have an Eno of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 If nothing else the SL sounds way better than an eno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've had two ENO's and the lockring has never come lose. So why does it need to be against the crank? Also, what's wrong with the removal system? Ride more Mine used to come loose pretty often. I tried thread-locking it on and it sort of worked, but it never fully solved it. Then someone borrowed my bike for a while, rode with the lockring hanging off and raped it. Joyous. The removal system is 'bad' because it sticks out a lot from the body when it doesn't need to, reducing clearance especially if you run a bashring. It's not as good as the new SL style system, or even the old SL/Trialtech/Try-All/V!Z system of recessed tabs. It's American. Besides they can be purchased cheaper than £85. I don't know how anyone can say it has low engagement seeing as 72 is pretty much standard still. You might as well buy an Echo as every person under the moon will tell you to unless they have an Eno of course Almost all new freewheels coming out now are 108 click. The Eno used to be ahead of the game when ACS CLAWS were the 'normal' freewheel to use, but those days are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
