A Tire Size to Chainstay length chart or calculator of some sort.... so what I mean is, for example my DK Machine Frame's rear end length is 13.5 slammed, and i can seem to fit a 2.15 colony agenda tire at 105 or so PSI slammed but not my 2.20 odyssey chase hawk regular tire even at 40 psi slammed, not the p or k lyte tire version just the regular version, I know there are TONS of tire sizes out there that vary in diameter and width and many other categories as well. but if there would be a general tire size to chainstay length ratio chart or calculator, do you think it would be used quite frequently, because when it comes to the time for me to get a new frame, i might want a fatter tire but also would want to know how far up it can go before rubbing. who thinks that would be pretty useful to have, probably not a very good idea in some instances, because of how many sizes of CHS's and tire sizes are out there with how much they can vary, but overall still possibly a good thing to think about, i just think it would help with buying a new frame or tire for some people, and yes I DO KNOW that the actual hub/sprocket sizing comes into play as well and that not everybody slams their wheel.

PS. I have never come across one of these types of things

measure from dropout to nearest contact point
write down measurement
compare to width of tires
order which one fits
use tire
ride
profit
????

this is a fucking retarded idea, almost as stupid as metal sleeved plastic pegs

idk if it would be too good... just because tires of the same width sometimes don't like measure up to what they should be, like the subrosa gravedigger

but if its just like a generalized type thing I guess it would be an okay thing
