does the ns sub even have chainguide mounts? The only main stream dirt jumper that has chainguide mounts is the trek ticket. You just need a short chain.

i noticed sam pilgrim's bike had a chainguide with ss at whitestyle and wondered why the chainguide was even needed since the bike has vertical dropouts but they can be moved forwards/backwards for ss

The Suburban should have horizontal drops...you just need to get your chain to the correct length...no guide is really needed.

Also, most dual slalom/4x frames have ISCG tabs of some variety or another...Yeti DJ, Trek Ticket, Transition Bank, SC Jackal...etc...but those are primarily designed for a geared setup for gate racing (which also work well for strict DJ/Trails).

I just run singlespeed for my HT...nice and clean.

Cheers,
