 I think the whole idea is a bit cheesy, and a few pics with an article would have helped. Lame.

 The transmission in my Honda is less than desirable. Odyssey fubar.

 The one with the most votes appears to have a derailleur on the chainring. Smash that off instead?

 If a gbox bike still uses a tensioner it's failed. Simple

 If it has suspension it will almost if not always have chain growth, thus a tensioner. Real simple.

 @chasejj: or needs a pivot central drive cog. Wouldn't be overly hard considering most main pivots are relatively close due to 32t chainrings becoming the most common with 1x11 killing front mechs. Look at the zerode g1/2, thats almost exactly what im on about with the alfine.

 If it doesn't run a tensioner then the pivot Will be concentric with the drive cog which will give it a less than stellar anti squat thus defeating one of the main benefits of a gearbox
