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?
QR = Yes, chaintug = good idea, ime.
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.
Yes x2
I've got a Spot one I don't use as I swapped to an EBB frame £14 posted? Email in profile.
Yes, yes
Definitely x 2 as the on-one website said only one on the drive side
x2 as in qr-yes and tug-yes.Just make sure its got the 'right' sized wheels 😉
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.
Hmm, useful answer there
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.
you succeeded 😆
Looking at sizing for new Salsa steel frame, their small is rated down to 5'5"
