vaguely considering a Latitude 20 at some stage. however, this from their website :
The heat-treated Cr-Mo seat stays are very slim and the asymmetric chainstay design gives room for 2.4” tyres and narrow Q-factor 2x10 drivetrains, or enough ring clearance to almost eliminate chain-suck issues with standard triple chainsets. The Latitude 853 frame may be about as good as steel hardtails get.
almost eliminates ????? WTF. not much of a selling point really unless I swop out my 9 speed kit...

I don't think anyone could say their frame has totally eliminated chainsuck for triple chainsets - apart from E-stay bikes and there aren't too many of those around these days...
...even then you could still suffer chainsuck, it just wouldn't damage the chainstay!
