What would happen if you ran an OChain crank and a regular rear freewheel?
Would it still benefit from the improve suspension kinematics without the chain always spinning?
O-chain is meant to work with a normal hub. You are thinking of the freewheeling BB system that Williams Racing and Intend are doing I think. The O-Chain essentially lets the chainring rotate 6-12 degrees backwards before the pedals start engaging. The idea behind the other systems is that you keep the chain moving forward to compensate for any pull back that that may occur. Essentially kick back would just cause the chain to slow down instead of move backwards as would happen when stopped. So if the chain is not moving forward it wouldn't work very well. Probably would not work very well at low speeds because of this.
I really disliked my Michelins. Went to Specialized and im really happy with them. The hillbilly for a uk winter is pretty incredible, taken over a Mary as my favourite winter front tyre
Haven't put together a new rig in a few years. Figured I would find out what this mullet hype is all about. Only the NX build was available so I had to make some changes. 165 Atlas cranks, Saint brakes, Syntace Megaforce 2 40mm stem, Deity Black Label handlebar, GX rear derailleur, XO-1 shifter, some green bits. Unfortunately it is a pig at 36.06lbs Stock NX cassette is an anchor and nothing else is available.
