Let's just say that I'm happier now...even though I can not ride much (extruded disc in the back continues to plague me), but I did take it for a short spin and had a smile on the whole time.

Gunnar Cyclocross SS...
The Forward Components EEB installed quite easily on the Gunnar cyclocross bike and chain tension adjustment was stupidly simple. The end result is a more efficient SS - previously I was running a chain tensioner so I could run the Gunnar as a SS, but like a derailleur it was a thief robbing me of pedally effiency and the smoothness a real SS offers.

Looks like a nice setup Eric. I will have to try an SS someday. Hope your health continues to improve. A bunch of us did our 2nd nightride of the year last night.....up rozenkrantz way. Hope you can join us soon.
Have a good 1,
Doug
Did you have to grind any material off the crank to allow the BB/cup/tensioner not to rub against the crank? I guess this was a double crank!

Looks pretty cool!!! I've put this on my todo list for the next Frankenbike project!
No crank modifications needed...the clearance spec of the BB is perfect (Forward Components seems to have a thing for attention to detail I guess).
I like it very much, simplicity at its best! Thanks, this will be a lot of help for all the new do-it-yourself’ers out their.

Nice looking bikes, saw your post did some research and ordered myself a set. How long did it take to receive them from Forward Components? It seems to be taking a while.
