But it is also the height of the tyre that matters as well. For example a 2.4' odyssey hawk tyre is nowhere near as tall as a 2.35" demolition momentum tyre. So it may fit between the stays but the height of it means it will rub on the bridges/wishbone.

That's why we as builders, have to take to that stuff into account.

It's much tighter than I like to build rear ends. I typically shoot for something around 2.750".

I know solid had made some barcodes a few years back, do you think you could make them wider due to the wishboners and things?

My Solid made one has just about enough room for the 1.85 I'm currently running.
