Hahahaha. You and your short chainstays.
Credit to Trek, their solution for short CS and 29+ is excellent packaging if that’s your thing.
One thing I will say about bikes with sliders is that it would be so easy for companies to offer multiple setups. For example, there are thousands and thousands of Kona frames using the same sliders (Honzo, Unit, etc). Kona could offer a long dropout kit and certainly sell a few units, even just to folks curious to try them.
