Ehhhhh... Not sure about that. That's not what Eric reports. He's decked it before on his speed record bikes.

You definitely need to do a squish check with clay to see how much space you have before decking, but there should be some freedom in there. Maybe only 0.010" or so, which may not really even do much, but it's something.
