From Specs What Is Axle To Crown Length?

Hi,Please excuse my ignorance but can you tell from these specs what the length of axle to crown is for 26 wheel ?

Answer:

I don't see anything that is close to the crown to axle measurement.
How many times you going to ask this question, until you get the answer you want or what.
Hm. Looks like a relatively low-end fork. Why do you need the axle to crown length? it is a function of the wheel size and the fork manufacturer will take care of that. This measurement will change as you compress the fork springs. The only thing you'd need this for is to determine whether the fork is too long for your head tube angle. For a fast-and-loose calculation, take the overall diameter of the wheel (tire included), add the amount of travel and it should get you pretty close. If you are looking for STEERER length, add the length of head tube, headset stack height, stem height, and spacers then subtract 1/8 (4mm).
