It’s off, the picture doesn’t quite do it justice. And I will eventually have brakes on it, I wish it was centered. And before I bought those spacers, it was fucking hell even getting it slightly straight. It would just pull extremely hard to the right. I’m ok, it’s a nice frame and faster geo than my SFA.

13.768" is right, 13.65" + 3mm

Your wheel *looks* centered in your bike check, did you manage to get it all working OK?

I tried pushing it, running a 28/9. Sooooo close. So I got the 3mm spacers putting the backend at 13.768, and I’m ok with.

I’ll stick to my screenshot of Fit’s chain length guide (put together by leading industry experts!) that has served me with perfectly slammed backends with outstanding chain tension with my last 6 or 7 frames. But thank you for your expert opinions professor! I’m glad my posts prompted you to insert your backend knowledge on a dying forum.
