Apologies all, I should ask on-one but fairly sure I'll get a quicker response here.
How do the current (2012) on-one singlespeed frames work with disc brakes?
It doesn't look like the disc mount moves with the wheel. Will I need to realign the disc brake when ever I adjust the wheel to amend chain length?
Thanks

That's right. You will.
On-one disc mount location on chain stay is designed to allow you to:-
1) Insert and remove your wheel without problems - sometimes SS frames that have a disc mount on the seat stay require certain combos of disc/rotor to get you to remove or loosen the disc calliper to get the wheel out.
2) SS frames that have the disc mount on the seat stay have a tendency to push the rear wheel BACKWARDS in the dropout slot under braking. Which isn't very nice. This action can be reduced by using a nutted axle and tightening it hard with a spanner.
The On-One SS frames use a "slot dropout" design that I designed to allow easy manufacture and use on the trail with the least number of moving parts. "Sliding Dropouts" are good but can be heavy and more expensive.
