 A bike called the tranny. So what you riding at the moment, oh my new tranny. but i tell you what that adjustable chainstay could be the key to belt drive bikes. would enable you to get the tension required to change belts. That Mamtor, looks a nice bike.

 Mmmmmmm that Mamtor looks lurverly (but what a cr8p name!). Any idea of price? Call me stoopid, but i don't get the 'mastercard / look' gag. Can anyone explain it to me please?

 IIRC (from the two that I've seen) the Tranny rear triangle is removeable & adjustable but still a solid triangle. Wouldn't work with a continuous weave belt drive. Although the two I saw were quite early so it's entirely possible that is no longer the case. That Look has always been a lust-worthy object but alas I'm just not fast enough to warrant it and know I'd look a complete twanky if I was to ride one

same here. I am sure that you could make a removable drop out to allow for a belt, couple of dowel pins for alignment then key it tight.

You do know that the Tranny is carbon, right? Your solution (while interesting) could very well end in copious amounts of tears.
|

thier are plenty of carbon full sus bikes at have fully metel drop out rear sections, they could be taken apart, or put a slot in the section that bolts onto the seat poat area, that can be fileld with a piece of titanium on the frame. ptoblems problems thats all we get from you, Haw are the wasps??

There are indeed plenty of carbon frames that are designed and built around metal dropouts. Sadly the Tranny isn't one of them and I wouldn't fancy trying to retrofit one - I think that may just void the warranty  Wasps are persistent. Rain has hampered efforts to do anything more about them (don't really want to go spraying chemicals that'll get washed straight into the ground). I'll get the buggers before I have to fly home. Grrrr *fierce face*

 Is there a Mam Tor in the Peaks? There was me thinking they might have got the name following a visit to Dartmoor

There's one in the Peaks and one on Dartmoor.
