Shortening Rear end - sprocket ratio in relation to length

(1/4) > >>

2flat2furious:
Is there a calculator that will allow me to see how far back a wheel will sit in the dropouts without me having to pull out a calculator and use Pi? I want to get my rear wheel slammed to shorten the rear end on my frame, and I have about 3/4s of an inch to go. A half link won't work, but I'm thinking if I got a smaller chainwheel and combined that with taking out a few links and/or using a half link I can get it where I want. I just need to know which I would need.

AlarmedBread:
I am fairly sure a HT angle slacker would fix this.

wolverines:
I had my wheel just about where yours is at  , and did wanted to do the same thing. 

I was running 24/10 for almost 3 years, and just last week switched to 20/10 gearing and a 1/2 link to get my wheel slammed. 

SERGI8:
solution 1:

half link + slight of fileing of dropouts..

solution 2:

1 tooth bigger or smaller sprocket.

I`ve had the same problem with my intrikat frame.. switched from 22t to 23t.

the fitbikeco site has some measurements on his frames info also..
