Traditionally, freewheels have been considered a disposable component and one that should be replaced on a regular basis. It is our belief that when you invest in your drivetrain you should expect your gearing to be of sufficient quality and durability to allow more time for riding and less for repairing and replacing components. We set out to create and manufacture a freewheel that would be durable, reliable, and easily maintained. The ENO is the answer. The freewheel utilizes a sealed cartridge bearing instead of a loose ball system. There are two advantages to the cartridge bearing:
- It is sealed from elements like mud, grit, and water.
- The bearing is nicely contained in one simple unit, easily pulled and replaced when worn.
The ENO freewheel features a machined inner driver and machined outer gear case resulting in a freewheel that runs concentrically without the tight and loose spots common to other freewheels. A 36 point engagement system and a case hardened, nickel electro-plated outer gear case make this freewheel a perfect addition to your single speed.
Sizes: 17t- 21t: red locking ring, accommodates 3/32 and 1/8 chain, bearing size 6808
Size: 16T only accommodates a 3/32 chain. see here from WI:
- On 16T frewewheels, the size of the driver and the bearings inside the gear limit how small we can make the diameter of the base of the gear. You’ll notice a groove machined on the base next to the teeth which is needed to clear even a 3/32” chain. For an ⅛” chain that groove would need to be a bit deeper to allow the chain to fully seat down on the teeth but we can’t make the groove deeper without sacrificing the strength of the gear. Running an ⅛” chain will prematurely wear out the chain and gear.

You get what you pay for, I recently upgraded from a cheap and cheerful free wheel hub to a Whites Industry free wheel hub, what difference, very happy. Thanks
