Well, darn. The fit was close enough that a little bit of otherwise acceptable... and not even easily visible... lateral inconsistency was enough to cause some rubbing on the chainstays. I've ordered a set of 1.75" wide tires, same model but with blackwalls. .15" oughta be more than enough to clear the stays without too much harm to the geometry. I got 170mm cranks when I bought the drivetrain, just in case that little bit of extra clearance is needed.
