    Ps also really need it to be 142×12 rear to suit my DT240 singlespeed specific rear hub

    New Specialized Fuse thing? But that’s boost. Realistically, chance of anything non boost is very, very slim.
    Reckon you’ll be needing a boost conversion kit and a tensioner …

    I’ve looked (mainly at the Chiner end though) and you’ll get so many more options if you compromise with an EBB or tensioner (as submarined says).

    EBB would be my preferred (if your cranks will allow) to keep clean lines on the bike. With some you don’t have to remove the cranks to adjust.

    I’d go for any of the Chinese carbon frames with normal 142×12 drop outs and PF30 BB.

    Then use the wheels manufacturing PF30 EBB to use threaded bb’s as an Eccentric BB.

    Santa Cruz carbon chameleon will do. It’s a bit spendy but lovely riding beast.

    Don’t want to do the EBB, previous experience on a Cannondale ss, currently running a pipedream skookum with sliding dropouts and it’s hasn’t missed a beat and so easy to adjust etc, that’s why if possible I’m wanting to stick with the dropouts

    Budget? Sonder Broken Road. It’s Ti and quite spendy but looks sweet.

    I think the highball also can use the same drop-outs. The chameleon would be more a hooligan bike, while the highball a bit more xc and less harsh, 27.2 seatpost on the highball so no realistic dropper post options.

    What about a Niner Air 9? It has an EBB BUT I had a few years of trouble free use on my Sir9 singlespeed and it’s adjustable without removing the cranks. I was skeptical at first but it never skipped a beat. As with most new frames it’s also boost but Wolftooth have an adapter for DT Swiss hubs.

    Cheers, I think the Specialised is an old model, one to watch out for though second hand, the broken road is something I’m considering just need to know that the wolf tooth boostinator will deffo work on my rear dt 240 hub, also on the lookout for a older highball, but they don’t come up very often unless anyone knows of a med frame?
    Thanks though guy’s
