Current Projects chat and miscellany

hm.. might as well join in seeing as it's my frame that prompted it, even though I posted the "etc. etc." knowing it was all said before. i've spoken to a couple of people on here who've had no problem with the magic gear in terms of chain wear screwing it up and I'd prefer to go that route if I can as i feel you're limited to the strengths and weaknesses of whichever eccentric hub you get (and they don't come cheap). But in terms of the BB - there are obviously attendant limitations here too - what cranks do you have as options using an eccentric bb?

I've noticed 'chain stretch' on all the chains I've used. Granted these have all been at the cheaper end of the scale: izumi, sram and KMC. Not so long ago I had to find a magic gear for my first vertical dropped frame and used a fresh(and cheap)! KMC. STretched half an inch in about a week. I then switched to a chain about two years old (sram + pre-stressed) that has the same number of links but is about a sixth inch shorter and has done me well since.

Chains stretch!
