That depends. I ride and love both equally.

 

I love doing proper trail riding with jumps, gnarly rocky descents and drops. I just can't see myself riding that hard with the SS compared the dual suspension trail bike.

Lekker meneer...can't wait...something new and fun to explore, and they are super pimp looking bikes.

Correct!

 

Although - Iron is using the static "tensioner" where you lift the chain up and tighten the tensioner rather than my method where you hold the chain "down" with the tension of the well uhhh tensioer. We are both happy with out solutions so Iguess it's up to you.

 

Iron's method looks neater and you get more wrap around the cog. My method allows a greater range of cogs to be used (I use 15-18t cogs).
