It's a 19mm, though an adjustable works fine. On Monday, March 21, 2016 at 11:42:19 AM UTC-7, Jay in Tel Aviv wrote: > > Thanks everyone. Now to find the right size wrench. :) > > On Sunday, March 20, 2016 at 4:55:05 AM UTC+2, Jim M. wrote: >> >> Here's a 30 second Youtube that shows what happens

Thanks everyone. Now to find the right size wrench. :) On Sunday, March 20, 2016 at 4:55:05 AM UTC+2, Jim M. wrote: > > Here's a 30 second Youtube that shows what happens with an Eno eccentric: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_oMYoLBtLg > > jim m > wc ca > > On Saturday, March 19, 2016 at

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone have a good rule of thumb for chain tension for an ENO single speed?

Keep in mind that when you're riding the tension on the chain will make it a little more slack. I adjust mine to be a tiny bit tighter than I want when it's in the work stand. While pedaling, the chain will be properly tensioned. Also, single speed setups aren't as sensitive to chain tension

I assume you're talking about the ENO eccentric hub, which I've used on various bikes for years to make single speed conversions. The axle moves until you tighten the bolts, which is why it will seem like it goes anywhere. When you have the wheel installed in the dropouts -- but before you

[RBW] Re: Anyone have a good rule of thumb for chain tension for an ENO single speed?

You can always add a chain tensioner - some clamp to the chainstay, others thread into the RD boss on the dropout. Most run about $20. Paul makes a really nice one that runs $65 and they seem to be in stock all over --

If it's that loose, remove a link or two. There should be a chainlink worth of play in the ENO BB to accommodate the fine tuning. With abandon, Patrick (who speaks from theory rather than experience) On Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 3:58:27 PM UTC-6, Jay in Tel Aviv wrote: > > So mine is way

So mine is way loose. Any idea how to tighten it up? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. To post

Generally, the center span of the chain should be able to deflect about a half-inch vertically. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to
