hen Doug White set up his own company in 1978, he got a chance to combine his lifelong love of bicycling with production experience built up during years as a machinist for a major airline. White Industries' reputation was made when Doug demonstrated the Tracker, the world's first suspension-specific front hub. White went on to wow the trade show crowds of 1992 with the 260g cassette rear hub, and in 1997 the LMDS (linear motion derailleur system) earned Bicycling Magazine's 'Editors Choice' award. The ENO is the latest in a long line of components combining quality and innovation.
ECCENTRIC ENO REAR | RACERX FRONT
White make several singlespeed-y rear hubs under the ENO banner, but our favourite is Eric's Eccentric ENO, which enables you to convert a frame with vertical dropouts into a fix. The secret is the eccentric axle, which you twist to fine-tune chain tension before locking the hub down with an allen key. We've been selling these hubs for as long as Hubjub has been running, and had got used to the fixed/free configuration. However, as of summer 2008, a new Eccentric ENO has complicated matters. While the hub is still fixed/free, the standard cog mount of the older design has been replaced with a splined mount for a proprietary cog which costs £36.00. We no longer stock the ENO, but we can usually custom order it pretty fast. |

HOW ABOUT |
|
We used to call the RacerX the 'front ENO', until White's recent rationalisation did for it. Now we say the same thing of the M15. The ENO, RacerX and M15 all share the White Industries amiably bulbous barrel and deep polish. Another eerie similarity to the ENO is that we're presently selling the M15 only on custom order. |
