The jackshaft is interesting - it is on the pivot for the swing-arm, so BOTH chains never change tension! Without the jackshaft, the length of chain, and the length change due to suspension movement would have been difficult to deal with.

Actually, the jackshaft is about 8-10" behind the pivot. You can also see the plate outside the jackshaft is slotted to allow for adjustment.

Definitely alot of thought and labor went into that bike.
