For gear changes like you mentioned you just cant beat that longish slot on the QB/ SO. There's really nothing better available...IMO. You really have to have a LOT of brake slot available to have many gear options with the ENO (IMO anyway). I suppose one could have more than one chain for different applications, getting it to work with a rear brake and all, or just eliminate the rear brake outright if you are riding fixed and need the gear inch difference with the same chain length I suppose if you DO need all that many options and you DO have vertical dropouts and DO want to be able to coast, maybe its best to just keep the durn thing set up with all them geary bits it came with <wink>. But where's the fun in that right? On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 12:46 PM, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote:
