Super dumb suggestion for an experiment (don't say I didn't warn you).
What would happen if you routed the chain straight from the chainring to the cassette and skip the idler? No practical reason to do so, just some curiosity on my part. Does the combination of high pivot and quick engagement hubs really bork the suspension action? Do you get crazy amounts of suspension jacking while pedaling? Or does it just maybe work okay?
