The lower BB on the ECR helps with the tire/chain clearance making it easier to run a double chain-ring setup.
I'm still kinda surprised at the fear and superstition about the ECR BB drop. It's the same drop as a 700c Atlantis and Long Haul Trucker. People ride those with 40mm tires off road without too much of an issue. If you do a lot of rock crawling then the higher BB has an advantage, but for dirt trails and roads the ECR seems to be the better design. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
