All on-ones seem to suffer chainsuck. but "it isn't the frame design" apparently.....

You should see my Scandals chain stay. I am constantly listening for the sound of it cracking...

the transmission causes it but if the frame has enough clearance between it and the chainset it doesnt matter(unless it sucks realy bad).

It is not a fault of the frame to be fair the chainrings are a bit er worn I had the same on my old full susser which the running gear came off

Mind with the way I fall off on a regular basis it will be the least of the damage
