Cheap eccentric BB needed
« on: 09 January, 2012, 12:20:09 pm »
Rather than post in wanted i thought it made sense to post here.

I'm after a cheap E-BB purely for training purposes, so it doesn't need to be brand new nor in fully working order.
I thought e-bay would be my friend but i've only seen one come up in the past few weeks [though oddly enough one has just appeared today]

Any thoughts? Cheap supplier? Something lurking in your shed you need to unburden yourself ?

Do you mean a tandem-style eccentric housing that takes a standard bottom bracket?

Yes that's right - sorry wasn't clear.

This sort of unit demonstrates the principle.

I'm out of date now on tandem stuff, but I have a feeling there's more than one size available. It might pay to head over to the Tandem Club and see what they have to say (or sell).
