Wotta Week!

ENO hub in the rear wheel

KInda slow, at work, and tired all over. I finally hit the "wall" on Wednesday night, and crashed out at 7:00 PM. I really didn't get a whole lot done, all week.

One thing I did manage was to get the wheels ready for a fixed gear Cannondale mountain bike I am building up for a fellow. He brought me the bike to convert, and decided that he wanted black wheels. Of course, the frame has vertical dropouts, necessitating the use of an ENO eccentric rear hub.

So, I ordered in a set of Deore disc-hubbed wheels, in black, with the plan of disassembling the rear wheel and rebuilding it around the ENO. I just had a feeling, looking at the two hubs, that they would require the same spoke lengths (meaning that I could reuse the original spokes and not have to buy more).

I did the spoke calcs, and the two hubs required spokes within 0.1mm of being the exact same length. So, last night, I rebuilt the rear wheel, and trued and tensioned the front. They came out pretty nice. Now, I'm just waiting to get the frame back from the powdercoater.

I also built up a Barracuda commuter mountain bike for a customer. Hopefully, it will go home this weekend. (Pics later.)
