    interesting. UK retail of £125 though.

    silver bit screws into the bb gold bit rotates around it in the offset groove giving the offset.

    so two external eccentric plates rather than an internal offset bored tube.

    I looked at this a while ago but was put off by the price - stupidly expensive for what it is and can't see how they can justify the price. No reason to see why it wouldn't work - but fixies are mean to be cheap!

    personally i would just fit a half link chain. or a normal chain and a cog jamed between the two chain runs.
