Word. Sorry I misunderstood.

Noone makes a flipflip disk hub yet right? that would look pretty intense with rotors on each side... you could even do dual calipers too just to have that much more stopping power that would never get used.
With my EBB frame, tensioning takes about 2 minutes, 7 if you count the time it takes me to dig out my allen key.
No flip flop disc hubs yet, thank God. Why go with a flip flop anyways? With the Dos ENO freewheel, or a cassette hub with two cogs, you can run discs and have a choice of non-shifting gears. That's assuming you even want/need to change gearings mid-ride.
