Oh... two other things of note 1) my 2.6" Honchos measure 2.55" on Cliffhangers when inflated to 20psi. 2) regarding that differential... the Susie's beautifully long chainstays will help mitigate any issues, I would think and hope. The longer the stays the straighter the chain, right?

[RBW] Re: Help! Chain/tire rub problem with my Susie build

This might be too much information, but for those who are curious, I just measured for chainline on the Susie. Shimano's claim of a 48.8 chainline on its 2x12 crank is spot on -- I measured 48.7. The measurement in back, however, turned out to be approx. 41.5. That's a touch over a 7mm

Good morning. Thanks, Joe. I think that's what it's going to come to. I'd bet it'd be ok. I just know know whether it'll move the chainline out far enough, and whether it would impact shifting. Moving the crank out 2.5 will likely only buy me about 1.7 or so at the chain/tire point of

Thanks, aeroperf, Yes, Hollowtech II. The BB and crank are definitely both mountain — a part of their XT lineup. And the Susie’s shell is actually 73mm. Apparently, the XT cranks give a 48.8 chainline. Extra shims were included with the BB, but I figured they were there for the use with a 68
