What's the widest tyre that'll fit in the dropouts of this frame?? Would a Der Kaiser fit or would it need attacking with a stanley blade first??

Hi Keith - We couldn't say for definite one way or the other, but I have a feeling it'd be very close if it does fit. As the dropouts on the Because are quite long, if the tyre didn't clear you could possibly run a half-link to move your wheel back in the dropouts slightly, although that would in turn make brake setup potentially slightly more of an issue. Thanks, Mark
