Which bike is that on?
I'm basing my geometry on the cross check, which has a stated chainstay length of 425. Perhaps that is measured to the midpoint. I shall check.
I'm nervous about 2.25 in the rear. Might settle for 2.1 or 2.0. But if I do that I might also check the BB drop.

Sliders on my Orlo. Wouldnt worry about weight if youre gonna be using a steel fork and frame, only adds 100/200g or something. Mine easily clears 650b 2.0 but wouldnt wanna go wider bc clearance. Tbf anything you do on drops probably wont need wider than that
Also nothing wrong with DT shifters. If i ever feel the need for 2x on mine i'd just get a Dt mount brazed on and run a cable under the Bb

Whats the maximum chainstay length? My sliders make the CS 415-435 and 435 is absolutely plenty space. You might run into trouble trying to get 2.25s in the rear though. Thats the kind of size that needs a wider bb so theres space for the CS inbetween the tyre and crank spider, even with 650b
