Sliders on my Orlo. Wouldnt worry about weight if youre gonna be using a steel fork and frame, only adds 100/200g or something. Mine easily clears 650b 2.0 but wouldnt wanna go wider bc clearance. Tbf anything you do on drops probably wont need wider than that
Also nothing wrong with DT shifters. If i ever feel the need for 2x on mine i'd just get a Dt mount brazed on and run a cable under the Bb

Thanks, your bike is quite similar to what I'm aiming for actually. Looks ace.
Can I ask what your chainstay lngrh (centre to centre) is when you have the sliders set to accept 650b X 2.0? And how heavily shaped are your chainstays?

Which bike is that on?
I'm basing my geometry on the cross check, which has a stated chainstay length of 425. Perhaps that is measured to the midpoint. I shall check.
I'm nervous about 2.25 in the rear. Might settle for 2.1 or 2.0. But if I do that I might also check the BB drop.
