Cannondale says

Hardtail riders are a soulful lot, and none are more so than 29er aficianados. Get all the benefits of the Caffeine frame with the easy-to-ride, easy-to-like 29-inch platform. There's even a single-speed version for the true believers. We could achieve chain tension on the single-speed 29'er with a doohickey that hangs from the rear derailleur. But those things are more fragile than Cannondale's solution: an eccentric bottom bracket. It offers the most accurate chain tension adjustment to maximize pedaling efficiency and your peace of mind.
