Pathetic Shitty Enos

[Ryan Blackwell]

Right im now soooo f**ked off with this crappy eno i cant belive it.

Went on a ride easly skipped 30 times and im not joking lock ring came loose every 5 minutes kept tightening it the the lock ring just fell off and wont go back on and all the insides are now all munched up.

So the most expensive freewheel on the market dose this? oooo no wait this sort of thing only happens to me this is called my luck you see.

Is there anything i can do like send it back to the company because im not having this and i cant afford to replace all the insides.

Thanks.

Sorry for swearing im just so annoyed

yep front freewheels suck. my tensile decided to just undo and lost bits. now is being a pain in the bum to put back together. ......... think its time i got a profile....................

if the eno was brand new contact either where you bought it from or the manufacturer because it should have some kinda warrenty on it.

Try threadlocking the lockring on, it will only skip when its coming loose

[Ryan Blackwell]

Thanks for the help mate but.

1 theres no point as theres nothing inside anymore the insides apear to have disolved.

2 the lock ring is completley de-threaded.

[Mark W]

I doubt there's much they'll do about it, just 'cos if it's f**king up that much it's usually a good idea to just stop riding and go and see what's wrong with it, avoiding completely f**king it up like you have done.

Mine lasted me a pretty long time, the tips of the pawls gradually rounded off, but that was no biggie...

[dan more]

my enos two years old and its a treat and im using a shimano lock ring on it dan

[Ryan Blackwell]

Lucky for some people isnt it.

Especialy as ive now orderd a new lockring,spring and pawl and basically have no use for it.

To top off my lovely day i dont have a crank tool. none of my mates have one my bike shop closes before i get home from school and i cant hit my crank with a mallet as there tenslies.

[Mark W]

Never stopped me Just get a block of wood or something between it and hit it as near to the spindle as possible so you're driving it off the spindle, not twisting the crank arm over or anything.

[Will Arnold]

was the freewheel new? if not then it'll probarbly be down to lack of good maintenance! those eno lockrings shouldnt really come loose as its a sealed bearing

[El Cristoff]

Dont ENO's have 10 year warrenty on them?

[steve@banbury-trials]

my eno hasnt been 100% since i got it about a month ago,it skips fairly ofteni think the problem is that two of the 6 spring feel stronger than the other four.im gonna get a new set of springs soon and hopefully it won't skip as much.

maybe ring up white industrys and see what they say.

[Ryan Blackwell]

Just got the crank off and the remains is 2 bent springs and a short pawl.

Can someone tell me what bits i need to order now at the moment i have:1 long and 1 short pawl, 4 springs,new lockring and the center and outer teeth.

I need to springs i know but can someone tell we weather i need long or short pawls.

thanks.

And could someone find me the repairing an eno thread by onzaboymark as i cant find it

In the first month, they ooze some of the stickiest grease known to man out of their sealed bearings, so you have to take each spring and pawl out and clean underneath them in the little carrier bits, otherwise blobs of grease get trapped under there and slightly 'stick' the pawls/springs down.

You need 2 long pawls and 2 short pawls, and 2 springs.

The thread should have been Wiki-fied by now, so click the Wiki link and it'll be in there somewhere.

thanks for that advice ,i'll take her apart tommorrow and give her a good old seeing too.

Thanks for the thread mark. the pictures dont apper to come up though its ok i know how to put it all together but the thing is what order do the pawls go in. do they go long,short,long,short,long,short? or like long,long,long,short,short,short?

Two of my mates have had ENOs, I thought they were f**king awful for the money. They skipped more tha my Tensile, cost more than my Tensile, and were quieter than my Tensile.

One of them is now on a Tensile, the other has quit. Tensile owns Eno.

No they don't.

I'd get in touch with the main importer of ENO. Can't remember wha they're called exactly, someone will post up though i'm sure. And tell them what's happend. But if you've been through two of them it makes me think your doing something silly with them, even though you just screw them on and ride.

I've never heard of someone ever having any real bother with an ENO. I've had two, and they've both been amazing.

If they're quiet, they need to be serviced.

Your mates can't have looked after them properly.

[Muel]

I didn't say quiet. I said quieter than my Tensile.

I'm clutching at straws there though, I just thought that an £80 freewheel that skipped when a £35 one didn't was a bit shit.

[Mark W]

If they were relatively new, like I said to that other guy in here you'll generally need to give them a clean. That'll happen a couple of times in the first few months 'cos they initially let out a load of grease, then let out a little more bit by bit.

Your Tensile is open bearing, with no seals. The Eno is sealed bearing, has a thicker shell, and a rubber dirt seal. It's not too surprising the open one is louder

[Muel]

OK, well Tensile's are still cheaper.

Anyway, dunno why the f**k I'm arguing for Tensile, my new bike came with a Monty! Everyone slates them, well Craig said it never skipped, and it sounds a lot smoother than my Tensile.

I'll report back in a few months.

on't subject of freewheels, what are the v!z ones like?

was thinking of investing in one of those.. 72 engagements seem quite nice
