Id rather not have a chain tensioner if poss. And I seem to remember that the orange5 was a suitable candidate for this, but have searched in vain for the old threads.
And tbh the orange 5 doesnt pivot on the bb so I'm not sure what I was thinking...
Anyone out there with an encyclopaedic memory care to reeducate me?
Orange 5 certainly won't ss without a tensioner...
The Cove G-Spot had a BB pivot, no idea if it still does though. The Kona A does as well, although that's only 100mm I think.. but that's about it I think.
Yep, Cove gspot pivots around the bb, and is 160mm. I also happen to have one for sale....:-)
Isnt there a niclolai designed for rolhoff?
My Solid Flair pivots around the BB and I run mine SS.
130mm / 160mm adjustable travel on the back.

(Sorry not got any close ups of the BB pivot)
@chimpy> email me 🙂
Cove GSpot, concentric pivot and magic ratio will work with an internal gear hub. Here's mine with a rohloff:

Jackass> niiiice. Hefty weight frame tho. Do you get to use it on slopestyle courses or is it a AM/MiniHD type ride?
I rock the narl to sweet double whips to the high 5's dude man dude*
* it's my dh bike, nothing but descents on it, rides great for the stuff down south, even run it on 130mm most of the time, it's got marz 55s and a ti spring now and looks awesome, never been on a slopestyle course in my life
Oh and it's weird at first listening to the suspension working and not hearing the chain rattle you get with gears
Sorry but is a tensioner, or lack of it the best criteria to build your new FS bike around?
Yes.
Next question?
very nice mr Jackass.
i always wanted one of those.
I like that flair a lot, I think I might start looking for something similar around 4-5 inch
depending on the rocker, its 160mm or 130 (5" is 127mm)
Cove G-Spot - I've a 17.5-inch (medium) for sale 😉

love that brooklyn (not the bum master extreme).
Looks so heavy you could barely lift it though!
please tell me that the BMW FS-bmx is yours! If so, how does it ride?
New DMR Bolt is 150mm travel, BB pivot, SS dropouts. Mmmmmmm.
mk1fan, I would if I could as that size would suit me perfect but I'm skint, its going to have to be a bit of a long term project
not quite 160mm but anyway

Yeah sorry my mistake DMR Bolt is only 5" travel
