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 stocking these hubs for as long as Hubjub has been running, and have 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, available only from Whites. If you fancy one of the post-2008 splined ENOs, drop us a line. |

HOW ABOUT |
|
The RacerX is the front ENO, sort-of. Although it's not officially part of the series, it shares the ENO's amiable bulbous barrel and deep polish. Ours are silver, 32h, QR. (As usual, you have to buy your own skewer.) Others on special order. |
