I actually want this to try an Alfine hub gear, but if that doesn't work I'll fix gears or maybe even SS it. Ideally a British brand. It should be more suitable for trail riding than XC/enduro racing on, but not that it cant be XC raced tho.
EBB = Eccentric bottom bracket.
Oh, and what about the Torque arm thingy with the Alfine?
funny you should mention the Love/Hate, as I've just been in an email conversation with a very helpful Mike from Dialled Bikes this evening. Its that sort of customer service that will win me over, and the bikes are nice too!
