militarac Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Hi there i would like to build racing carbon 29er mtb with 3 gear speed hub and EBB ,I was looking to get On-One Lurcher Carbon Hardtail 29er Frame. On -one suggested this option Bottom Bracket Shell 92mm Pressfit,what crank can i use(carbon ?) Question is is that size frame 92 mm will fit EBB (still need get one) ? .Do i need get MTB Filler Shim ??.Can you fit EBB on the Chinese carbon frame ? Thank you
DubbelBuys Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I got a simple tensioner from Kiwi, but I didn't like the downwards tension method. Went to the local truck trailer spares shop & got a spring which is winded the other way around.Now it pushes up instead of down & the chain covers around 70% of the cog's teeth. It can now handle both 17T & 16T cogs without any hassle. Yet to take the 16T out on a bumpy ride & get true trail time on it.

I would only think that the spring would also need to be a little stronger too, because it now bears the downward weight of the chain and has to hold it up through the Bumpy stuff rather than just countering upward chain momentum. But I like it.
DubbelBuys Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 The spring I used is a stiffer / harder / stronger than the original, but the fact that it pushes up & engage so much better helps a lot. The spring is 2mm thick. The photo of my 'new' spring is actually the other half of it.

NotSoBigBen Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Even though it's a bit 'costlier' I still go with the half link 'tensionerless' option .... looks super cool and clean but one needs to replace it quite often, at least when you ride it as much as me

NotSoBigBen Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I think for you a proper SS frame with no need for a tensioner is the next logical step Yip, would love that, What about those eccentric BB30 thingy's, any good? Cost ....
Baaisikilist Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Stop it now...! You're not a young man anymore. You need to be looking at 3 x 11 now...
NotSoBigBen Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 As soon as I start wearing frilly pink blouses like you I'll start riding 3×11 !
Hairy Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Yip, would love that, What about those eccentric BB30 thingy's, any good? Cost ....Can't honestly answer as I have never used a BB30 eccentric thingi ma bob yet.

Looks neater and works pretty well. I couldn't see any difference in wire diameters, so guessing the stiffness is pretty much the same for both.
