Title: Singlespeed options?
Post by: mynameiswilson on December 01, 2022, 10:51:57 AM

Are there any open mold manufacturers making a singlespeed hardtail 29er? Preferably with a sliding rear, but I would settle for an eccentric.

Thanks!

You best bet is to find one with a pressfit bottom bracket and then install an eccentric bottom bracket. I have yet to find a chinese carbon mtb frame with sliding dropouts.

You need a PF30 to have some room right?

Yup, and that's challenging to find.  At least in the combination I'm after:

Boost
PF30
Modern/Relaxed Geometry
