Eno eccentric hub with an Hs33?

[heheheha]

Hey
Running a Tibo frame with HS33's in the rear. Rim is going to be a D521; will the eccentric hub cause the magura's to not be adjusted properly, or will there be any set up problems? Also, will the eccentric hub hold up against trials abuse (ie back hopping, or any sort of power move)?

POST ONCE!!!!!! anyways, it will hold up to trials abuse(I have two friends that are running them) but expect to spend some time adjusting the tension on the chain. other than that its a cool hub.

See other thread concerning double posting.

Spending time to adjust tension; is that the initial set up, or a once a ride thing?

[stu like d food]

The friends we have that ride them have to adjust the chain tension like every time they ride, and with maggies that could potentially be a problem. Like some times during the middle of the ride the hub shifts and then they have chain slack, are you thinking of getting a tensioner?

Well, I was really hoping to eliminate the need of a tensioner, since I hate things hanging off my bike :) But, it looks like that will be the only way to go...Sigh. Perhaps I shall use a SS CK then, if I am going to need a tensioner...Prolly nothing wrong with the White Industries hub, but I know I like CK :)

um, you will have one position for your eno hub, and one position for your brakes. If the hub slips out of tension gradually and needs to be re-tensioned you won't need to reset your brake - that's just dumb.

Also, use a proper 6mm allen key (a long one) and not a multi-tool to tighten the axle bolts. You shouldn't get slippage if you do this, and have clean dropouts/"locknuts".

you are right, and make sure the drop outs are straight, and also shave off the paint, i usually dont have any problems with mine, on my 5.0 it never slipped, but on the 6.0, it slips some from the drop outs being not perfectly vertical. but after a while you do have to adjust your brakes

If the tire clearance on your frame is super-tight, you might have a problem. The hub will put your rim out several mm's, up and forward or back. I had to rotate mine back a bit (and add a link), otherwise the tire would rub on the bridge between my seatstays. Once you have your brakes set up, you shouldn't have to adjust them for a while. When you start getting slack in your chain, it's more from the chain stretching than the hub axle slipping. I have to adjust my tension every couple rides.
