Don't understand that. If it has the dropouts/eccentric bb it wont matter.

Ive been using an old giant mcm carbon hard tail for years as a single speed
It so old it only has v-brake mount on rear but it just won't die

This bloke seems to not break them;

I ran a c456 singlespeed for a year with no breakages. My weeds knees were more likely to go before the frame, I think.
