Recently, I put together a 17" 2006 Zion 660EBB Singlespeed frame.

It has an eccentric bottom bracket with dual locking set screws.





Hardware Replacement

The two round head cap screws were replaced with Stainless Steel Cap screws for use with a larger wrench and matirial to grab in a worst-case situation. Now a 5mm allen wrench can be used.

Marine Grease. Use marine grease. Its what I use when reaming bottoms.


Test fitting.
