It uses and eccnetric BB to tension the chain, love the clean look of not having to run a tensioner at the back. Also get your hands on a halflink chain. It sorted out the issues i had with my chain jumping off over the rough stuff.

At the moment im running a 34/16 which seems to work well as long as there arent too many long flat sections.

 

Excuse....What are a Flat Section?

Saw it on teeeter earlier, what frame is that B? Looking for something similar for a "project" one day, in a large, ;-)

 

That's a Silverback Zero. It was a commuter-type bike they brought out some years back. I should've maybe shaved the cable guides off the frame, but it was done on as much of a whim as it was on the cheap! Haha! Will keep an eye out if any large frames come up, mate!

Very cool Bazza.

 

Thanks, mate!

 

It's actually quite a fun bike to ride. Once took it out for a burn on a New Year's ride at NF. Singletrack on a back-pedal brake can be a jol.

Interesting, on a GT Zaskar. Very nice!

What modification did you make to the rear triangle to get the belt in place?

 

Search the hub for dog walker - full build info there.
