Default White Industries Eccentric Hub

Hiya all!

Finally got my WI Eccentric SS hub last weekend and managed to build it up
last night. Gonna test ride it tomorrow and I haven't been so excited for
quite some time. Anyway, got a quick question,anyone have trouble getting
freewheels off after some time? specifically shimano freewheels.

FWIW, I used to have a hard time getting freewheels off my previous Surly
hub, and that hub had a nut to secure the freewheel remover onto the axle
but the WI Eccentric doesn't. I've cut a very thin (0.1mm?) plastic sheet to
act as a spacer for the WI but am not sure if that'll make it easier to
remove in future.

Cheers,
bloocow

Cool! Let us know how it goes. I've been thinking about one of those too.
How hard is it to set up? Remove the wheel? Let us know how it works out for
you.

Matt (sorry , no answers to your ?'s here)
