Well I rode down ther today - damn me if that isn'y a very difficult thing to measure! Cos there's an awful lot of bits in the way.
Best I can say is it's about 26cm. Don't know if that's any help to you!

hi hornet6, suggestion....get all your parts, wheels/tyres etc then make frame around them. ive found this the way to go, it takes the guess work out of it and youve more chance of it ending up right the first time. good luck with the build

That was inside the chain tensioners I measured, that's what you said!

its all ok thanx as ive bought a wheel spindle of e/bay,so working around those dims,and alls going well so far. One question if anybody might know the answer.Ive seen on some chops a fixed rear wheel with a tensioner wheel placed on the bottom rails to give a bit of tension on the chain.Are those wheels made of a hard material similar to a skateboard wheel,as this is the way ive decided to do my project as this will give the back end a nice clean minamilist look. Less is more. Anybody know anything about those tension wheels?

Try a trials bike dealer- they use 'em on off-roaders, which have longer chain runs than most road bikes. Locally to us would be Motts Motorcycles in Basingstoke, Hants or Motorcycle Parts Centre in Reading, Berks.

Motts dont do off road stuff according to their staff. We found some on the display facing the counter! But they didnt have any chain tensioners. Id be tempted to make one from an old skateboard or rollerblade wheel.

I tried a skate board wheel many years ago on my XS650 chop, but it just melted after a few days & the little bearing in the middle collapsed. Mind you, boarding was less sophisticated then so maybe the wheel composition's improved. I ended up with a spring loaded solid rubber block for a trail bike which worked fine.
