White Industries Eric's EccentricENO Singlespeed/Fixed-Gear Hubs For Vertical Dropout Frames

Old Giant TCR Aero frame (paint and stickers poorly made by me). Since this photo, i changed the pedals to clipless (shimano SPD-SL), the gearing now is 48X16, and the tensioner is pushing up the chain. I made a perfect chainline, with no noise at all. As soon as i touched the chain with the tensioner (Alfine one), I get noise Maybe one of those Dmr style tensioners would work better?)

Anyways, what was suposed to be a cheap beater bike turned into a nice machine. I used to ride fixed also for some time, but right now the freedom of SS is really nice. Off course, a lot of upgrades are already planned

PS: sorry for some english errors. Not a native speaker




There's always the White Industries Eccentric hub for a cleaner look
