so,the sprocket is on the pivot point. if the chain is tight enough, it won't move.

does pedalling feel any different with a gaerbox? I would think it might take some getting used to.

Not 100% but I think I remember it being a Duro/Suntour fork. It felt super nice....although the carpeted hallways arn't exactly a test!

Bik is superb but i have a quiestion. RL7 also features hopey mounts. What is the deal with that? I mean what is it for?

Steering dampners for hardcore racers. Helps with holding the bars straight through high speed rock gardens.

shouldnt be much chainslap chain stay length looks constant as suspension moves and chain wont be jumping about changing gears all the time

Yep, That is the key. No chain bounce or loss ever... And shift while you are coasting. I want one!!!
