Cyklist Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) I didn't have any trouble at all with the lockring coming loose when I had one. It didn't come loose when it was new, neither after I did some service to it.But I suggest that you just have a look at it tonight, simple as that. It's really easy to just make sure it's tight and after that there's no need to worry about it tomorrow!Enjoy your ride!

echo_rob Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have worked on an ENO, great freewheels. They never slip but the one I worked on did come loose after about 5 rides and that was only beacuse it was quite old. I would personally choose a Monty freewheel beacuse the lock ring is on the other side but the ENOs do come with a lifetime warranty.You can take them apart and possibly lock-tight the lockring, that hopefully will make it hold. To tighten it just turn it with your fingers so it is tightish now and again. It should be fine.cheersrob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 i think eno's are the best freewheel (that's my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 it shouldnt come undone as when you pedal it tightens up.to save on a new topic on enos i'll ask a question here,should all the leaf spring inside the eno be the same springyness? i only ask as when i serviced my eno it felt like 2 of the six springs where pusing against their pawls harder than the other four.cheers,steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm almost 100% certain they should be the same springyness, I only guess though because you can only buy one type of replacement leaf spring for the Eno (there isn't a springier leaf spring an a less springier leaf spring in spare parts for them so they must all be the same). Aslong as the freewheel works and all the pawls engage, I can't see it causing any problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) it shouldnt come undone as when you pedal it tightens up.cheers,steveBollocks, absolute bollocks. If Im cycling a distance on my monty (like miles) my lockring will occasionally come loose. Got to a riding spot once, heard a rattling, rode for ten minutes, and realised my lockring was actually completly off swinging on the BB axel. The drive shell didn't move at all, I seriously doubt that would have happened on any other freewheel.Try all freewheels are about the only ones that the lockring wont come loose on because it's against the crank rather than towards the BB shell.Tensiles were supposed to have an opposite thread to prevent them loosening but I don't know for sure as some have failed.edit: having said that i'd not change my eno for anything seriously reliable, the lockring has only ever come loose once. if I was in the middle of something and heard that rattling noise again I'd not shit myself, i'd finish the move and jump off knowing that the eno is well put together.

JT! Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I can't stand people posting shit that is simply not true.But freewheels do tighten as you pedal. That's what he was talking about - so he wasn't posting shit that wasn't true as such.I've had two enos, the lockring just doesn't come undone. Dunno why, might have something to do with it having sealed bearings.So, don't worry about it. Just ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
