The crank arms never hit my frame but it was extremely close. In your pictures it looks pretty close too but not like mine were. But when installed on my bike it was even closer than yours even with spacers installed. Odd but at least the S300's worked out fine. Much more clearance than the omniums near the chainstay.
I've installed Omniums on Wabi frames for people before and had plenty of clearance.
On murrellington's frame, there was plenty of chainring.spider clearance but the drive side crank arm was way too close for comfort (within 1mm) before the NDS arm was even torqued down.

Mine are 167.5
That all makes sense now.

Like I said, not hating, just asking. It's your bike, so you're free to do whatever you want with it. I've got the standard Wabi wheels on my steel Rush, and they are plenty light for me. Peace.

Not hating either, but you have to realize that it is such a weird question to ask someone. By posting about my wheels, which I am obviously very happy with, it was not my intention to detract or take away from anyone else in the world from enjoying the wheels they have and have spent money on.

Your cog is slipping.
Light wheels on a heavy frame makes more sense than heavy wheels on a light frame, even if the two hypothetical bikes have the same total weight.
Rotational weight is what matters most while riding.

A combination of both is the best recipe. With my wheels and my Tron light bike-like tuck during yesterdays excursion, I was able to surpass some experienced riders on our descents.
