Truth or fiction?
Hmm. I'm not that knowledgeable but I'm curious. I guess it's possible that smaller frames could make it harder to get the chain-line right, since the parts are standardized and may be a bit large for very small frames. (Or are they ever custommade?) But I wouldn't expect that to be a problem until you're working on childrens bikes, and then mostly crosschaining would be difficult. Interested to hear if anyone has feedback on this one!
