Very nice, and + 1 or 2 or 1,000 or more for singlespeed and fixed drivetrains. During the 6 years or so that I've owned my Chauncey Matthews "road bike for dirt" -- AKA Matthews 1:1 -- I've often been tempted to change the very -- O so very! -- carefully arranged 42/28 X 13-25 10 sp drivetrain for the blithe simplicity of an ENO singlespeed; say 42 X 19 or 65 gear inches. But now I've got the resurrected 2012 Monocog 29er with a single 65" gear and close-to-really-3" tires, so I've left it multi-geared.
But still ...

More of a drifter than a drag racer anyway, and the simplicity is what really appeals to me. No tensioner needed with the ENO hub. I was a little surprised that a new chain was still not long enough for this limo - had to add a few links. Good thing I had plenty of spare chain from the two I bought for the original build. (FYI - a new 8sp chain at REI is only 9 bucks.) Anyway, here's the evidence: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
