Well, difficult is what makes it exciting. I am not a big fan of the Douze's tensioning system (without having seen one up close yet) it seems that their system is based on barrel adjusters. And in my mind they ALWAYS seize on bikes. Having to barrel adjusters close to each other makes the. Hard to use and offsetting them (on my design) looks clumsy and adds unnecessary weight.
Hence why I moved away from them again.
I want as little threads on the frame itself and I want everything to be non-proprietary and fixable in rural areas. But I am still thinking and I will solve it. I just need time.
