|   Help with EBB... please!!! | LiteSpeed
Jul 24, 2003 5:44 AM | | I just got my new Curtlo this past Monday and I am in the process of building it up. I started to install my BB and I noticed that the two holes to rotate the EBB are on the drive side. I decided to try and rotate the EBB with two Allen keys, and I couldn't get the thing to move!
First, should the side of the EBB with the two holes be on the drive side? Second, how in the world could I rotate the EBB if the cranks are install in this config? 3rd, what is the correct way to rotate an EBB? Is it required that the cranks be installed? Should I be using a spanner wrench? |

| I use an allen wrench between the crank spider arms | TwoCircles Tim
Jul 24, 2003 7:42 AM | | We drill our holes to fit a 4mm allen wrench. I an get the allen wrench head in between the crank arm spiders, and pedal the crank forward or back to get the leverage needed on it, which generally isn't much.
Eccentrics are generally drilled on the drive side, we drill ours on both. This is because they are firstly designed for the front end of tandems which have the crank arm with the spider on the left, and what we think of as a left arm on the right. |
| this is how it do it too. | weather

| Exactly how I do it...and I thought I was the SS rookie? | KMan
Jul 24, 2003 10:17 AM | | Stick an allen wrench in there and get the leverage from the cranks. Piece of pie to do and very helpful for any trail side adjustments that need to be done.

Jul 24, 2003 10:26 AM | | hey!
just turn the thing around. it's alot easier to adjust the ebb from the non drive side. did it to my cannondale and have had zero problems after nine months of hard ridin. maybe i'm not following the rules but i never do.
later
