|   ENO hub...VBrake interface problems? Any? | Pohukai
Nov 14, 2003 1:27 PM | | I like the concept of the ENO (the eccentric rear hub) and I have a friend that uses one on her road bike in a fixed gear configuration. However, on her bike the rear brake is rendered useless because the hub rotates the rim too far away from her brake pads. Is this a problem ONLY on road wheels? It seems like this could also be a problem on mtb (26") wheels but perhaps the small diameter wheel and more adjustments on the vbrake shoes doesn't.

"YouÕll definitely see the discrepancy with the brakes. So keep that in mind. Seeing this will make you understand the effectiveness of ENO. Adjusting the hub will eliminate this, and you will be happy."
First, set up the ENO, then worry about adjusting the brake pads. And if you're using the other side of ENO, why use a rear brake? That's almost like buying three gnomes for the price of 2. |
