you can't measure it. it's the virtual centerline from the bb center to the axle center. you fixture for it, but after the bicycle is assembled it is only an approx- imation. that's as close as you get - you're going to use a tapemeasure on the diagonal, skewed by the cranks and qr - those parts yield a diff measure. e-RICHIE®™© Richard M Sachs Chester, CT site: http://www.richardsachs.com pics: http://photos.yahoo.com/bobbesrs rants: http://richardsachs.blogspot.com/ zany: http://tinyurl.com/22xo7
