New SS Porn- almost ready!
Here is a little teaser of the latest SS project:
2008 Yeti 575 in Dukes of Hazard Orange  with a full carbon rear  2008 Fox Talas and Fox RP23 Thomson Masterpiece Post Black King Headset Not on yet but the usual suspects: Thomson Stem FSA SS Crank Mavic 819 Rims with DT Revolution Spokes on DT240S hubs Tread? Most likely Maxxis UST Ignitor and TT Race Face Carbon XC SL Riser Bar Avid Juicy 7 Carbon Brakes Time Carbon Atac Pedals Oury Lock On Grips The guys at Yess Products hooked me up with their ETR-V Vertical Chain Tensioner with full squish capabilities, should be interesting. I am trying to get it ready for the Turkey ride this week!

After what happened to your Lynsky, I'm not sure if I would be riding a bike with carbon seat stays if I were you.
It is a sexy frame, though. I can't quite read the graphics on the top tube. Does it say Nomad on it?

No V-brake mounts? Geez...you'd think with a frame that offers all the bells and whistles, that you'd at least have V-brake mounts. What are bike companies coming to?

SS on a full suspension bike? Doesn't the axle path change the chain tension? Are you planning on running a chain tensioner to compensate? Or does the single pivot of the Yeti not suffer from this problem because it's a single pivot?
Never mind. I actually read the whole post. You are planning on running a tensioner. Very interesting. I remember reading once about a bike where the lower pivot was around the BB which allowed one to run SS on a FS MTB and no tensioner. Good luck with the build.
