sherman or 03DJ or 04DJ?

Z150 would make more sense. It has better valving than a DJ, in theory is stronger than a sherman, and it looks pimp.

sherman

hey thats a great plan dude… it'll be a fun bike…. i have a kid who i sold my 01 vps drop frame and he has it with dual 24s and a 3 inch fork and SS it rides awesome keep up the plan..

as to the fork from what i know the 03 and the 04 djs are the same (someone back me up here) but never the less id go for the shermans… im riding a 03 dj1 on my launch right now… good fork but horrible tire clearance. :)

wrong the 04 forks have increased tire clearance steal stantions with a chrome coating and a steel steerer but they have the same crown i believe and thats where the 03s were cracking if i were you i would wait for the 04 flick since it has a travle adjuster that can be ridden hard(supposedly) even though i doubt youll use it its still the stronger fork also withthe reverse arch it rides allittle higher which would be good for that frmae and make it a super awsome bike

There is no point at all to SS on a dually. SS is for simplicity and this will be more complex.

That will be most unlikely. The travel adjustments are inheritly weak. If you are hard on your fork, you'd be better off to stay away from any of these types of gadgets.

A SS on a dualsusp could be simple, only I have to find someting to tension the chain…motorbikes are fullsusp. or not:D
I

why not just get a REALLY beefy hardtail like an evil or letoy and put the setup ur talking about on it….

Motorcycle's are single speed drive because chain length is the same throughout the travel. The wheel follows and arc'd path. But the Scream moves vertically, so your going to need to run A LOT of chain. Doable, but more complex that having a derailuer. my .002 though.

running a dearailer like swinging tensioner it should be 100% do able.

False, rear wheel travel in The Scream follows an arch, sure it is not a four point with horst link (like specialized or Big Hit). It looks as with a 34-36 ring, not should be too much increase in chain tension…I

The Big Hit has pretty much zero chain stretch when the rear moves through its travel. The Cove G-Spot has an "around the BB" pivot, and has zero chain stretch.
