I can't run my chain real tight cause the path isn't straight enough, it jumps. I am hoping someone is riding one and has it dialed. Just wondering what the drivetrain set up should be-spacers? Also are they all set up front free wheel and static rear? Any help would be great. The chainstays are real wide, and flex in when tightened, but this makes me wonder what spacing the rear hub should be-seems it would fit a much wider hub then what I have now. Also if the hub where wider it would help the chain to be straighter i think.:dunno:
Also if anyone wants to sell theres I have a friend looking for his own Mig
what set up are you running?

So i assume no-one is ridding one currently?
Is there a problem with the way I asked the question?

your first problem is that gearing the bike isn't designed for that gearing.
You should use an 18 up front and an 11 or 12 in the back.
You can either run a front freewheel and fixed cog in the back or get a cassette hub with an 11 or 12 in the back, and a fixed 18t up front. Either way is fine, but a front freewheel is a cheaper way to get a 72pt engagement, but honestly anything 36 or better is fine.
the reason the frame flexes is because it was probably designed to use snail tensioners between the hub and frame. You should get some or put washers in to compensate for the extra space.
