dang! this is purty, like a purty moufh
its that stuff form that felt-ish pad on the inside of the box...rather, gnome box.~gomez~ said:Are those geriatric gnome pubes all over that thing?
Yup, your way is much better....pvd said:very nice, but those do make it difficult to do a 2x2 with vertical dropouts.
here's how I do 2x2: http://www.pvdwiki.com/index.php?title=PVD_Two-by-Two

Still don't see it...he's using a cassette hub?fishcreek said:look closely.
well? is the felt made from geriatric gnome pubes or what?ernesto_from_Wisconsin said:its that stuff form that felt-ish pad on the inside of the box...rather, gnome box.
I'd love to hear you're explanation at the emergency room. "I slipped and fell on it nurse....."ernesto_from_Wisconsin said:dang! this is purty, like a purty moufh
That's a nice looking device, but the question is.....does it squeal like a pig?ernesto_from_Wisconsin said:dang! this is purty, like a purty moufh
Are you sure about this? What are the gear ratios? Are they even usable?Mallanaga said:ENO has a matching crank with 2 gears as well, to keep the chain the same length the same, and keep a nice chain line.
You may want to double check your math. Those combo's do not work with vertical dropouts.SoloRider said:
Aah, vertical drops, no tensioner, missed your first post. Minimal adjustment on any normal SS without needing two chains. How much need is there for 2x2 on non-SS frames anyway? For example your 2x2 wiki bike would work just fine w/ an ENO Dos setup.pvd said:You may want to double check your math. Those combo's do not work with vertical dropouts.

but then i would need tools to change gears. this is my point, I only need to use my QR to change gears. I do not need to change axle positions. you cannot do this with the DOS product.SoloRider said:For example your 2x2 wiki bike would work just fine w/ an ENO Dos setup.
I don't run 2x2 and don't think I ever will, but I never find myself without tools and since it takes me less than a minute to reset chain tension, I still don't see the need. Also, 30x19 seems a bit insane as a SS gear to me(not that I'm really into the ENO Dos gear choices either), but if it works for you than that's fine.pvd said:but then i would need tools to change gears. this is my point, I only need to use my QR to change gears.

Elaborate. I've had one since they came out and it is just now needing new berrings and has worked flawlessly. It gives folks the opertunity to turn a conventional frame w/ vertical dropouts into a ss without using a tensioner. The only flaw is that it changes the frames pitch slightly, but never to a point that it affects how I ride. Thats a very minor thing compared to what you get out of it. And "Isolator" hubs we're nothing of the sort.
And I would have never gotton into an activity that involved a little "having to make adjustments" every once and a while. I mean you spend hours upon days trying to perfect some new widget, but seem to have an issue spending 30 seconds making a minor adjustment.
If the only real difference is QR versus bolt on...you can put the DOS freewheel on a QR thread-on SS hub and change gears without tools. Assuming a frame with sliding dropouts like the one you have pictured, or an EBB. Then the DOS ENO set-up works just fine on the trail...without tools.pvd said:but then i would need tools to change gears. this is my point, I only need to use my QR to change gears.
