Are there some gear combinations that are going to rub no matter what? For instance, smallest cog to inner chainring and vice versa? These are gear combos that will likely never be used.
Small/small and big/big frequently rub. They typically don't on larger men's bikes, but on bikes with shorter chainstays they typically will.
Triples are especially prone to rubbing and in the outer and inner front rings, you'll typically only be able to access 2/3rds of the cassette on a small frame.
