So Close! Schwalbe Moto X 27.5x2.4 Barely Scrapes the Frame on Zen AR-45 Build

Testing rear tire clearance on the Zen AR-45 / Schlick Growler cycle truck build. I've got a State Bicycle cargo fork up front with a 2.4" Schwalbe tire, and I wanted to see if I could match that comfort in the rear with a Schwalbe Moto X 27.5 x 2.4 (Super Moto X). Short answer: it almost works, but not quite. After switching the rear freehub body from Hyperglide to SRAM XD, the tire now scrapes the chainstay yoke by what looks like less than a millimeter. Might be dish, might be the yoke design for larger chainrings - either way, it's too close for comfort. Good news: I've got a Schwalbe Big Ben Plus 27.5 x 2.0 ready to go, which should slot in with plenty of room. This might end up as a standalone sidebar or folded into the full cycle truck build video. Either way, figured it was worth documenting for anyone else trying to max out tire clearance on this frame.
