Yep it does, just great. 3 of us running that thing around here on our DH bikes. No serious problems yet. Just make sure all the bolts are locktighted. Mine's seen a lot of mileage. SOOO nice to not have to worry about chainlines/shifter/derailleurs/etc.
no it should work with the 991. I think i've got either that or an 8sp sram on there now.that's awesome... ordering one right now.. i will run it and test it out!
does it work with the SRAM 991 Chains or do i need a SS chain?
until dave encounters a time where he wants to pedal harder or easieryou won't regret it!
Rollenlager doesnt use spring tension, its fixed.So then I can assume that a Rennen will also work without an issue?
you got your pro license?i was condidering running it on my DH bike, but i will be running it on my 4X bike... instead... i'll be racing with Mr Dennis Y. next year and need gears, but on a 4X bike i will be rocking this!!!!!
Whoa lots of questions. I think all of us around here I more or less running the EXACT same drivetrain set up, so I will answer these questions
1. Chainguide: Yes, we are all still running chainguides up front. The standard MRP system 3 guide with an alloy bash. I've been toying with the idea of trying it without the guide, but considering I often do 4-5 mile/20 minute descents, I don't think I wanna risk it, I'd advise against it. The chain is much more restrained than with a normal derailleur, but still bounces around enough to probably fall off.
The spring has adjustable tension. It's fairly quiet I'd say. Way better than a normal setup. I've only had problems on one section of one trail with the chain slamming around/failling off. It just popped off the lower pulley. Fell inbetween the tension cog and the metal plates. But, I probably don't have it tight enough, its slightly misaligned currently, and this section was so rocky, it's a challenge to even hold on. I wouldn't reccomend using it on a DH bike without the chainguide.Thanks for the detailed reply.
if your chain still bounces around, how much? does the chain still hit the chainstays over rough ground? does the YES tensioner's spring have adjustable tension? a big part of the appeal of going SS for me would be a silent chain and no mud clogging issues (by ditching the chain device - funnily enough the bike I'd be interested in fitting one to has the exact same chain device as yours but it's a slap-happy FSR).
Works great on a Splinter! Ran 38/18 on that for lift days and it was primo. Can accommodate a lot more chain stretch than that frame has.Gemini - are all of the bikes that you are talking about with this setup VPP? How well would the Yess work on a single pivot? I'm assuming that there is enough range of motion in the Yess to accommodate some chain growth?
I'm just thinking that Whistler SS would be a blast - assuming I could get the gearing right to be usable in the Garbo tech (In Deep, Goats Gully) as well as on the open jump runs (Freight/DM /A-Line)
For some odd reason, I just started humming the Sanford & Son theme song after seeing those pics.
And the whole thing:
SPAM: The fork and shock are for sale!! Great shape, Roco has custom 2-stage compression shim stack!
Excellent! I was thinking of doing this either on my Splinter or on the new F-Bomb (that should be along with the new batch). I even have a 38T ring around somewhere...Works great on a Splinter!

MMMMMMMM, saint compatible hammerschmidt.....How would fair it would react when combined with a hammerschmidt?
Dremel much?Note: Yess does not work on Turner DHR due to the bulky mech hanger.
Must buy new DHR.
Uhhh, I have yet to see a frame that it won't work on. I don't think that's really a reason to buy a bike, no offense. Well, actually, I do mean a little offense.After some e-search: will buy new Pivot/Phoenix because of the Yess compatible hanger. Thank you internet.
