Well, since it's going to have an Xtracycle extension on the rear, that rear axle measurement doesn't matter much. i just need to know whether a 26" wheel would fit up front. So if anyone with a 52 Clem L could measure the distance from the center of your front axle to the canti/V-brake posts, that would be greatly appreciated.
