That I know. The premise is a dingle and a double chainring where you have
2 combinations adding up to the same number of teeth.

If you make a dinglesoeed with the same teeth count, an ENO will be fine.
However, it still may require tension adjustment when you change gears
(though the gear teeth add up to the same number, the actual chain length
still changes slightly).
But if you’re trying to accommodate different teeth
Thanks, all. I, obviously in asking the question, suspected as much and hoped
for more. It looks more and more like I shall embrace delighted contentment
with the Hunqabeam for my riding, including the underbiking bits when they
come. Considering it handles with aplumb 95% of my milage, it’s an
The Eno basically has four positions, two for each chain length or cog size.
For the short chain or large cog, the Eno is positioned forward and can be
either up or down to adjust chain tension. For the long chain or small cog, the
Eno is positioned rearward and again, can be positioned up or
I'm going to third (fourth?) what Patrick said. The ENO is a clever
solution to finding one gear choice on a bike with vertical dropouts. I
used it that way on my Gunnar Crosshairs. But when I wanted to play with
manual gear changes, I de-eccentric'd my ENO and used that wheel in a Surly
Cross
I'll echo previous comments. I think the ENO is designed to allow enough
slack to get a fixed gear wheel out of the dropouts. It's not meant to
allow for on the fly gear changes, like the Quickbeam. If you're maxing out
tire size, the little bit of horizontal and vertical adjustment can cause
My experience is similar to Patrick’s. I had an ENO hub on a Jamis sport
touring bike. I had a difficult time getting my chain tension the way I wanted
for fixed gear riding. Either too tight causing unnecessary friction or too
loose feeling shady when I would try to skid stop. I am sure a
To tighten the chain, you rotate the hub around the axle and the dropout;
because the axle is in an eccentric, this makes the frame rise or drop on
the axle. While holding the wheel in place (and thus, keeping the chain
taut) you tighten the allen nuts.

Backstory: Before I swapped the dropouts on my Hunqapillar to horizontal I, and
Grant, talked with White Ind. about using their eccentric hub for fixed gear
bikepacking. We were both told absolutely not, it will fail.
Update: Grant recently followed up with them and asked specifically what
