They could take a link out of the chain and still have the 10-12mm gap which was considered optimum on the Look 596. What the best gap is on other frames would have to be found by experiment, because there's a trade off between smooth flow off the frame onto the back wheel and viscous drag in the thin shear layer between tyre and seat tube cut out.
