Mark W Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Ahoy. Well, was riding Aber today, all was going smoothly. Then, for the first time in ages my trousers got caught in my freewheel. Not just any way though, oh no. Somehow, they got wrapped so tight it also got into the pawl mechanism, and bunched up so much it forced the driveshell off, bending the lockring in the process. Whoop de doo. So, does anyone know who distributes/is the main distributor for White Industries products in the UK, or am I gonna have to go further afield for a replacement lockring? If anyone's got any Enos for sale though, I'm interested (Y) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 OK this is gonna sound really dodgy, but have you got a picture of your trousers? love to see the damage :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 well to give you a clue mat, they have a tear the size of your arse crack in them. but the damage they did to marks eno is proof cordroi (sp) is the "ardest" material around :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 They're torn beyond repair, pretty much. I'll have a stab at sewing them tonight though :D No pics sorry (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 The deal's all dicked up with Tom :D Sideways Cycle distro W.I., so I can sort out a replacement lock-ring with them now, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the driveshell on the Eno was thicker than most, meaning the lockring would have to stop short? Plus it's got the sealed bearing bit to keep clear of?

Mark W Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yeah, but they wouldn't carry spares as readily as the place I listed earlier (they replaced the pawls, springs, seals and shit on JT!'s Eno the day it got to them and sent it out again same day, for £15 (Y)). f**k paying full whack for one too :lol: £70 was enough last time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
