looks really cool, and im always up for a bit of bodging..... so good work i say. iv always thought that it'd be cool to have a mech mounted that way, 'because it seems loke a nice simple, logical idea. BUT... (theres always one) ... 'sidehops to mech might be a problem for your hub or axel, instead of just snapping or bending a hanger.' That said, if you never sidehop theat way then its not so much of a problem. AND... (one of these too) ... 'wouldent a 116mm hub build up into a less "stiffer" wheel than a 135mm would? only my thoughts. Still think it looks real good though.
