@ajlapp: How has wheel size affected your chain runs? Is there a sprocket reduction you've had to change?
It doesn't have to affect your chain run...but a wheel diameter change often coincides with a wheelbase adjustment. Especially your outer most wheels.

This is the idea behind the tensioning system in both Universal Chassis and Super Light Chassis. The slot in the chassis rail supports 4, 6 or 8" wheels. You just need to adjust the length of the tensioning bolt.
