Another day of wheel building (and so on).
I received a White Industries
ENO hub from a customer.
The maker's website also lists it as ENO HUBS,
so the official name is ENO, not ONE.
The ONE text on the hub shell appears reversed compared to the White Industries lettering orientation,
but it's not rotated 180°—it's mirror-flipped
(otherwise the diagonal line on the N would face the opposite direction).
This is a single-speed hub with a 130mm over-locknut dimension,
used for building urban single-speed bikes on road frames.
The wheel is built.
The rim is a Mavic Open Pro
32 hole, all-competition JIS lacing with no spoke crossings.
The hub dropouts synchronously offset eccentrically on both sides,
which allows chain tension adjustment without needing a derailleur or tensioner mounted to the derailleur boss.
This makes it possible to configure the chain with the clean, simple appearance of a fixed-gear bike
while running single-speed.
One side of the hub has threads for a single freewheel cog,
while the other side has White Industries' proprietary spline pattern for a fixed cog mount.
As I mentioned before, the hub's eccentric mechanism handles chain tension adjustment,
but with a standard hub plus tensioner setup, you can't run a fixed cog.
Whether intentional or accidental, if you pedal backward
the tensioner will snap off.
There's a very slight dish on the hub's left and right flange widths—
theoretically the spoke lengths differ by about 0.3mm left to right.
When rounding, it happened to be 0.3mm difference rather than 1mm,
so I cut the spokes to the same length on both sides
(for example, if it's 300.1mm and 300.4mm, both round to 300mm, but
300.4mm and 300.7mm would become 300mm and 301mm respectively).
Compared to single-sided threaded track hubs or disc front hubs,
the dish here is much smaller, so I thought
it would be fine to just match the narrower side
and make them the same without any dish at all.
