WHITE Industries
ENO Precision Freewheel
18 Tooth Brand New in Box
You might ask" Why spend that kind of money when I can gat a cassette for just a little more? Here is the answer.
Freewheels have long been the Achilles' heel of the single speed industry. The problem has been twofold; 1) dirt gets inside and gums up the mechanism 2) the inexpensive freewheel unit is not precision enough and bearings are easily compromised.
Both of these problems plague the consistent engagement of the typical or average inexpensive freewheel. Sometime it may engage at 15 degrees and sometime it may engage at 9 degrees. A true precision freewheel will engage at precisely 10 degrees consistently. Consistent engagement is necessary for proper training and conditioning and is MORE IMPORTANT than having more engagement points. I would rather have a precision freewheel with 36 engagement points that a cassette with 72 engagement points that is NOT precision quality. COMPARE: as true Precision cassettes are typically well over $500 just for the parts.
Think about it! The Freewheel is the most complex and technically advanced part of the bike and most of us go out and spend $17 on a cheap freewheel. If you are going to buy $120 Headsets and advanced frame designs you might as well step up to the plate here first.
White Freewheels have superior seals and do not require much maintenance, HOWEVER they are completely rebuildable by the average bike enthusiast.
You can feel the quality just holding one of these unit in your hands. Give it a try and if you are not satisfied when you get it you can send it back for full store credit. just do not install it.
Big favorite with BMX racers!
