I've had two alloy frames with EBB for Rohloff hubs & when clean they are great but once they get covered in mud, out come the Allen keys to take out the slack that has the chain slapping on the chainstay & as soon as you loosen the wedge you feel the grit getting in & it's a full strip down, clean & regrease of all the BB parts & shell or else the creaks will ruin the ride.
So EBB - fine in theory but in practice I'd not have another one, I've gone full circle back to a simply QR dropouts & tensioner.
