You can measure the chainstay width, inside-2-inside, at the point where the
tire passes, then figure howevermany millimeters you're comfortable with for
clearance (four is a fine minimum-and the Japanese standard, Times 2 that's
8.). Then do the negative arithmetic, and blammo--there's your max tire.
(I know those who ride less than four. if the tire is big and cushy, the
wheel whill probably stay true forever. Why would it not?)
