The shifters are a big deal, IMHO.

The newer Soras have the dual-cog feature as well, which I like a lot; if you're coming from the small to the large chainring you can double-shift the rear cog...

It was accurate, it was useful, it pointed me toward a brand I had not considered and it is likely it will lead to a sale.

As for the rest of the forum and its members it has cemented my general...

Nope. I verified it with a ruler on my current hybrid. I have over 5" of clearance from pedal axle to tire on the hybrid.

I will clear with 4" from the pedal axle to the rear tire without arc...

Does't change the outcome, which was my point -- corrected, it doesn't match against actual experience.

"L" (Front-center) = 604mm (A), Drop = 69mm (B); hypotenuse (BB -> Axle) = C.

How do you try out the bikes when the LBS doesn't have them in stock?

Yes, in a 56cm size -- not an "exotic" size either, indeed, arguably the most-commonly-sold men's size.

Where's the...

4", pedal axle to wheel with the wheel aligned with the inside corner of the pedal. That will (just) clear, worst-case. My current hybrid bike measures nearly 5.5". If it's REAL close (either way)...

Yes.

All I really need is an answer in inches (or millimeters; pick your units) from the pedal axle to the back of the tire when the crank is pointed at the axle. I know exactly where my cleats...

They're not and I didn't presume they did.

The measurement I asked for (pedal centerline to rear-most portion of front tire) is what I asked for and leaves the decision to me.

Right, I explained the clearance figure I wanted (from the center of the crank pedal axis to the rear of the tire) and this was beyond them. Ok, they're the experts and I'm not on the terminology,...

No, I want the guy in the local bike shop who wants to sell me a four-figure before the decimal bicycle and doesn't have the frame size in the store to be able to answer the question.

He can't...

I can't get "in-shop" service from a local shop that doesn't have the frame in the building!

What then?

And by the way, that's an issue here locally. I only know the Synapse DOESN'T have the...
