I had a light but notable amount of calf contact on the Process 134 I reviewed
that was 142 x 12 (<http://nsmb.com/kona-process-134-supreme-long-term-
review/>) which isn't common with most 142x bikes I've ridden even with short
chainstays. I'd suggest that if its something a company is thinking about it
is fairly easy to design around with modern aluminum forming (and really easy
with carbon construction).
I haven't had a chance to pedal a SBP bike so I can't say if the combo of the
narrow Q-Factor and wide hub spacing causes calf rubbing. Interesting point
though!
