      Nice frame, homie. I do feel terribly sad for weight weenies like you and the inevitable shift to disc brakes. Just like New Coke in the 1980s, bike brands have released the new formula...and in a few years they will rerelease the original formula rim brakes frames renamed "Pro" only models and costing $18,000 for the same shit we rode 5 years ago. Oh wait. Specialized is already doing it.

    Oh what a pleasant surprise to see my bikegeocalc webhack being used by my favourite bike youtuber :-).
    Regarding tire clearance, I have noted that the same bike model in different sizes can have different tire clearance, if the chainstays is the narrowest point (which it often is). I have a Cannondale CAADX size 54, and my brother has the exact same model in size 51. His frame actually has a couple of millimeters more tire clearance than mine, despite the smaller size. The reason being how the chainstays are shaped, his size has a bit shorter chainstays and therefore wider opening near the bottom bracket.
    So if one is pushing the tire clearance limit and researching on the internet what people get into their bikes it could be worthwhile to check which frame size they are using too, at least if the chainstays are the limit. The fork should be exactly the same, and I think that seatstays are usually less variable than chainstays between frame sizes.
    Another thing about chainstay limit is that they are usually slightly asymmetric with less space on the drive side. So in one of my bikes where I have pushed the limit I have actually dished the rear wheel 1 mm to the left, which is small enough to not be noticable in handling, but may give you that crucial extra mm, so I got 3mm clearance on both sides rather than 4 + 2mm, which does make a small difference if it is a bit muddy or if you get a spoke failure. I also consider it much safer to push the limit in the rear wheel than in the front wheel, as a dragging wheel in the rear after a spoke failure is much less likely to cause a crash than the same thing in the front wheel.
