Greetings-
I'm new to the eccentric thang (previously used a Paul Melvin tensioner) - and wondering if there is anything I should be aware of with my new Raleigh XXIX - the owner's manual doesn't even mention it. Any tips for maintenance, etc. would be appreciated...

Holy moly.

I love the Tawanese, A large shell will accomodate either solid eccentric without the need for expensive machining or finish work. Is this the best way to do it? Not at all, but it is profitable and that is what is most important to them.

Those dastards!

Seriously, that is like blaming auto workers in Tennessee (or heck, everybody from Tennessee) for the lousy leg room in the back seat of Honda Civic. You get what you pay for, no matter where it is made.

Champagne snobbery on a beer budget.
