looking for full suspension frame for ss build

looking for xl full suspension for ss build...no carbon and would prefer trek

Full suspension single speed? That's interesting. I guess you'll be using a chain tensioner?

Utah use to run an old derailleur as a tensioner back in the SSAP days, worked fine.

YEES makes really good tensioners for
many different set ups, rode one for two
seasons no problem. The chain needs to be tight or it will skip every once and a while

Been running this for almost 2yrs now. Rohloff tensioner with a Problem Solvers Zinger 18, 19, or 20t cog.

100mm bike with full lockout to run full rigid.

The Problem Solvers adapter works good?

Yep, plenty of spacers included to get a good chain line. Have used it on the rigid and FS bikes since '18. Kit comes with an 18t and 20t. Wheels Mfg makes one as well, but a little more pricey.

If anyone is looking for a Rohloff tensioner. Saw this on FB Marketplace.

I hate making adjustments and its easier to swap a wheel out with different cogs

Really? Rockers/slider > EBB > Tensioner

I find that it's a real P.I.A. to remove the wheel with the Rohloff tensioner.

What cogs are you using with the Paul's Melvin? Statement on the website that they sometimes don't play well with Surly cogs.

The Gusset XD 1'Er Singlespeed Conversion looks good, but I haven't tried it yet.
I have a few due to a shipping malfunction. I could sell 1 or 2 if interested.
