Does anyone have a favorite eccentric bottom bracket? I’m starting a project to convert a thru axle bike to a fixed gear and an eccentric BB seems like the place to start.
Thanks!

I have the bushnell in a chinese ti rohloff bike mit mudguards, with a square taper axle. Fine so far, assembly was easy etc, use is also troublefree, now 3 years. I had an issue with slipping sideways, probably a user error. What i still wonder about is “tightening” the chain, with 2 oversized 4mm hex holes. I dont feel like the 4mm hex is the right tool, so maybe something like a pin wrench is better here - but i dont have one. Hope this helps!
What BB shell do you have? Bushnell is a great option if your frame will accept that. The Phil Wood Philcentric BB is a good option for a BSA threaded shell.
the other key question is the crank axle diameter. If you’re using 30mm then the Beers one is really your only option, if 24mm there’s a fair few more options available
Thanks for the feedback. I was going to use a SRAM crankset but DUB is going to be a tough standard to match. I’ll plan to use a 24mm spindle instead.
Oh, and this is going in a BSA hub shell.
