    WTB: Eccentric ENO hub. alone or part of a 29" set (or: do I want a chain tensioner?)

    have a 29er frame fork and bits that is coming my way, want to run it SS but it has vertical dropouts

    anyone have experience with an ENO eccentric hub? Or should I just get a chain tensioner?

    ENO work great, No cheap, Odds are a chain tensioner (or dead, old derailer) will be cheaper and lighter.

    the ENO works great, and keeps a nice clean visual on the bike, and no noise.

    The only tensioner I've used was the DMR one, and it works perfectly.

    No springs, so no flopping around -- I looked at the Surly Singleator, and there are a couple similar ones, but they all use springs to keep tension on the chain. The DMR one requires you to use an allen wrench to fix the position of the tensioner, but once it's in place, it's not moving. It's a less-expensive version of the Rennen:

    buy one of the eccentric BB's (e.g. phil wood) that works in standard BB shell. nice clean solution.

    then you can run a freehub, which is more better. and don't need to build a new rear wheel.
