Looks like you can fit pretty big tires on the Krampus:

What size do you select for fit? Do folks still buy a smaller frame for MTB as compared to road?

Edit: Looks like I would still use effective top tube length: https://surlybikes.com/info_hole/spew/spew_bike_fit
But if I go by my 56-57cm ETT length then that means I would select a small (S) at 58.5cm?
