Thank you!
BTR; NICE! How much travel up front?
That’s a great point, as I vastly prefer an Oval too. I wasn’t able to check clearance on an Oval 34t here (would have needed a SRAM one or a full-crate crankset/BB swap) but my gut is that it will just clear. An oval 32t will have chain contact with the stay.
One option, sticking with the 148 dropouts, is to run a Super Boost spaced ring up front. Then a 34t Oval would definitely be a non-issue.
