I used an ENO on my first (1994) Riv custom and found that the brake bridge was low enough that my 32 mm tire would rub the fender under said bridge unless I took the trouble to rotate the hub *downward* when uptaking chain slack -- an operation that I personally judge to be 25.97865473% harder than installing a wheel straight into horizontal dropouts on a derailleur bike. (On another, non-Riv ENO conversion, I discovered that the ENO's takeup would not extend to three teeth, while at the same time discovering that it did extend to marginalizing the rear brake pads unless I fiddled with a compromise placement.)
