For now it seems that the darkness of my ever growing single-speed mindset has masterminded another success. My Gunnar road bike has morphed into a SS...
I used a cool CNC'd eccentric bottom bracket made by Forward Components (basically it converts an awful geared bike into a SS by allowing 15mm of chain tension adjustment). I've used one of these bottom brackets with great success on my Gunnar cyclocross bike for some time now.
Before this bike was a SS I sadly had put only 230-miles on it since the beginning of the year. A week after its conversion to the dark side of SS I had more than doubled that mileage simply because the bike is so much more fun now. Let's see I now have 2-geared bikes and 5-single speeds...hmmm

Hello. My name is Jason. I have been doing research on building a single speed for my road bike frame and I came across you blog. I have the same wheelset by Bontrager you show in your photograph, only I have the Select version, not the Race version. I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me what fixed gear hub you are using on the rear wheel and any information that will lead me in the right direction. Please rely. My email address is openappleshift3@yahoo.com.
