I was wondering if someone could help on a question relating to chainstays?
I read online that good touring bikes have chainstay lengths ranging from 42-46cm and that chainstays of 41cm are typical of city bikes. How true is this statement?
Is a bike with a chainstay length of 41cm and a total wheelbase length of 101,5 cm (1015mm) unsuitable for touring with front and rear luggage?
