Thanks. One concern I had was chainstay length. I designed them to be as short as possible but the slots in the dropouts are long and my jig interferes with them if set up to be fully forward (add a revised rear axle holder to the project list!).
I was worried the tire would hit the seattube when fully forward. As you can see, full forward, there is about 3mm of clearance.
