Wheelbase?

[BIG L]

I was just wondering what 'wheelbase' means as i have seen it on the internet on a few different types of bike. e.g On the echo team it says you can have a 'Wheel base: 1030mm (size Large) or 1000mm (size small)'

and on the GU it also says 'frame 1030mm length (1000 wheelbase is also available)'

Could someone please explain this to me as it has really puzzled me.

Wheel base is the measurement of the lenght of the bike from the front axle to the rear axle (from the front bolts to the rears ones)

The bigger the wheelbase the longer the bike.

hope it helps.

What bike do you have, because i could possible tell you what your wheelbase is inrelation to those on tartybikes, if you were interested.

Yes please what wheelbase does the onza tpro 2005 have?

Good bike that, but it depends on which forks you have on, as different forks make the wheelbase longer or shorter, for example if your were to have the T-pro with echo easy forks or echo lites as they are called now. I think its just over 1000 mm around 1010mm and with standard T-pro forks it has a wheel base of 1000 which is quite short, compared to alot of the mod bikes on the market, for example zoos but it is the same as the koxx Levelboss this is why the T-pro frame is so popular.
