[#1609006]

On say an Inbred slot drop out frame, can I run a normal QR in the back wheel when running SS, or do you have to use a bolt up axel?

Are chain tugs a good idea / necessary if you're going to run a QR?

1)yes,

and 2) most definitely yes if you use a qr as it won't take much pedal/gurn to budge a qr on its own.

Haven't got any spare clown wheels (or any clown wheels infact) so it'll more than likely be a 26er unless I get a complete DiamondBack Mojito and fit some nice finishing kit & better brakes.

What would you do?

BTW I'm 5'11" so is a 29er rideable for someone of my height?

😆 Of course!!! Lots of people a lot shorter than you riding 29ers. Probably best above 5'8" though. I'm 5'10" and love mine.

Sorry - wasn't meaning to be cheeky 😉 I've have no hesitation riding a 29er at your height. I'm 5'10" and ride an 18" On-one and a medium Salsa. Smaller frame sizes are obviously available from both makes.
