Mountain Bike Design 101 - The Chainstay Yoke

A deep dive into only one part of modern mountain bike frame design. This project started out of necessity, then became an idea to help out other builders along the way. Check out my post on the MTBR Forums here for the PDF of the drawing shown in this video. Some of the clearances that can be used with this chainstay yoke setup: Chainstay Length Min : 415mm Wheel / Tire Max : 760x66mm (29“x2.6“) 34t Chainring Total cost of material is roughly $10, maybe less depending on where your 4130 plate comes from, and a hour of work in the shop. Mild steel can also be substituted for 4130. Instagram
