That would take pretty long bolts though, so I don't know if it is the best option.

I would want the chain inside of the wheels. Less cantilever to the sprocket means less chance for the chain to jump the sprocket.

I wouldn't worry about the bumpers protecting the chain so much as the chain rubbing the bumpers...

You could also try a trick that a number of teams using WCD pull--they run their chains inside the frame outline.
I didn't think of some of those issues with the chain. I might move that chain to the other side of the wheel if we have room.

I'm not sure what you meant by unning the chains inside the frame outline. If you meant using live axles and having the sprockets on the inside, we are using dead axes so that wouldn't work for us.
