This handy thing solves chain tensioning on a disc frame with standard dropouts and a standard bb shell, compatible with shimano hollowtech II cranks:

Here's another, similar, offering I've been considering.
Forward Components EBB $135 http://forwardcomponents.blogspot.co...et-patent.html

Also, it's not a EBB, but a nicely mounted (IMO) chain tensioner
Yess ETR-B $60 http://yess.myshopify.com/products/e...hain-tensioner

Also, the Yess HALO is supposed to be, essentially, a BB > EBB adapter, but I haven't worked out how it works
