Well, all I can say is that it ran smoothly with a 11.46 Shimano cassette and 30z front chainring on the Switchblade.... Here for this Fugitive I might take more experience on the trail.

By the way, I build lots of bikes with normal non boost cranksets on a boost rear dropout. This runs even better than using a boost crankset on boost dropouts....

160mm. Well, I sell such beautiful custom bikes... just contact me if you are interested Thanks

I ran also pivot switchblade or Mondraker crafty, both 157x12, with normal chainring, with Sram or race Face.. Both ok.

Thanks iceman2058

thanks iceman2058!! Great!

These bikes run on 36t front and 16t rear. Is a quite good ratio. Front tensioners I didn't see so far, But those ROHLOFF DH SHORTY rear tensioners are simple and solid. They do their job good, very high quality german made stuff. We can recommend them. They come with two derailleur bolts in different lengths, plus diverse spacers for correct alligning with the rear cog. Mounted in seconds (y)

Thanks!! One is L and one is XL.

Just because it's simple, clean and easy, and doesnt brake or fail that often. Whats more, one has to ride in a different style, keep the speed so you dont have to accelerate in pedaling that much
