So, I’ve got a lovely new vertical dropout frame to build up singlespeed, I could do with a new rear hub anyway and I’ve never got on very well with tensioners.
So an eccentric ENO disc hub sounds like the perfect solution. Do many folk have them? How do you get on with them?
The major unknown for me is mounting the brake caliper. I have heard that the matching caliper mount doesn’t fit on a lot of frames, and looking at my frame I think I can see why – the stay sits proud of the IS mount surface so I’m guessing such a big adapter might foul that. Is this others’ experience?
Also, I think I read the offset of the hub is about 7mm, so any two opposing hub positions are 14mm apart. 14mm sounds quite a big increase/decrease in BB height to me, re pedal strike and any other relevant geometry points. Is that noticeable?
