Has anyone tried a White Industries "Eric's Eccentric Eno Hub" ???

This hub features an eccentric axle mount, allowing easy conversion of a vertical dropout frame to singlespeed and/or fixed gear with no need for a chain tensioner. Pivot the hub to tighten the chain. You can run fixed on one side, and a freewheel on the other.

I just won one of these hubs and I'm trying to decide what to do with it.
Willing to consider trades.........

Shot,
I just got one for my wife's new SS project bike. Smooth bearings, nice finish. The mechanism works very well, you get 15mm of adjustability and it holds firmly in place.
