CBProductions Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Use the search there are various topics on eno's as I used the search when buying mine and it proved very useful. I rate them but you might want to go read for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Geary Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yeah got one, there the best freewheel out at the minute ... like Dan said they will skip at first but thats just the bedding in process.If i was you when your first get it take the lockring of and cleanout all the grease and lube it up with some light lube, that way it'll run alot more smoother and will be alot more louder.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Oooooh thats why peoples freewheels are so loud. Mine is quite loud but I went riding with this guy and hes good and his freewheel was really loud, I was like "wtf?" lol ~Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra964 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 eno green is the best out there vincent hermance usees-it, benito, vinco, tunnicliffe, the best riders use this freewheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3LLON_t-mag Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 they are actualy ace click like hell to begin with but turn out amazing I have had mine for about fouur months and haven't had any problemscheerez mellon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Although I'd chose my profile over it any day, I will also recommend it. It allows your cranks to spin so freely and the engagement (in my experiance of other bikes) is very reliable If you've got the money and you are ready to start doing large gaps, drops etc. Its worth getting an ENO to save your a$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 tunnicliffeReally?Anyway, i've had mine a year and a half now. And i'm happy with it. It's built beutifully, and very easy to maintain. Needs de-greasing a few months in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeNi Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Ye They are well worth the money. They are designed to be taken apart to clean, they have sealed ballbearings so don't break as easily and don't go everywhere when you take it apart and they stay really clean. They run smoother than any other freewheel, have more engagements than any other freewheel, Have 6 pawls instead of 4 so have stronger engagements and virtually never skip and they don't come un-done every 5 minutes like a ACS .

will17will17 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 if I were you (which i aint) I would get a rear cassete hub like a profile (like me) its up to you though Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Really? I'm surprised you didn't point out that the other Koxx riders use the Try-All freewheel They also used to run ACS Claws, in fairness...Enos are seriously good though. Top quality manufacture, top quality materials - it's aaaaaaaaaaall good. There's a FAQ topic too about stripping and degreasing it after you've had it for a few weeks/months. The sealed bearings ooze out the excess grease, and it gets over the pawls and springs so it quietens them down and makes it harder for them to engage, which can lead to more skips. So yeah, get on it and get it cleaned after a month or two and it'll keep running nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfGussets Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Didn't want to make a whole new post up for this...Does anyone know if this comes in a 16 tooth size? Or do the extra pawls restrict this to being slightly bigger?And I know someone said it's well worth the money. But ~£80 is a bit steep? Although, if it saves you from getting into similar situations to that video that's been floating around (gap attempt when chain snaps), I would guess it's definately worth shelling out for?!

JT! Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Does anyone know if this comes in a 16 tooth size? Or do the extra pawls restrict this to being slightly bigger?I think the trials eno only comes in 18T, but not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Correct - the trials version only comes in 18t, but to be fair, the singlespeed version uses the same awesome engagement and overall design (as far as I know), but only has 36EP not 72. Still 6 pawl though, I think? Anyways - it's still good, even though it's not the legit trials version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfGussets Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I think the trials eno only comes in 18T, but not 100% sure.I just found that they do make the Eno freewheel in sizes of 16-23 teeth. But those are just 36 ep's. The 72 ep Trials version is 18t only. (Just incase anyone else was wondering the same thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 6 pawl though, I think?I think i remeber seing a picture of the inside of a eno normal version and it has 4 pawls. Also there would be no need for 6 to be engaging at the same time.

Mark W Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah, I thought that might've been the case. Even so, f**king hardcore version of the ACS, which is going to be between ACS and Eno on price?

Ever owned a ENO? They are well worth the money. They are designed to be taken apart to clean/service, they have sealed babearing so don't break as easily and don't go everywhere when you take it apart and they stay dirt/grit free. They run smoother than any other freewheel, have more engagements than any other freewheel, Have 6 pawls instead of 4 so have stronger engagements and viirtually never skip and they dont come un-done every 5 minutes like a ACS.Good old copy and paste Eno's are the bees knees though.
