A couple of addenda: Like J. C. Koto said, when you turn the front wheel very far the Extreme will hit - mine hits the adjusting barrels on the eyelets for the cables on the downtubes. So far it hasn't caused a problem but I try and avoid it. It never happens when riding - only when I'm wheeling the bike around in parking lots, getting ready to put it on my car rack, etc.
The other thing: I had a Tubus Tara on my front originally. It had these nice spacers to allow for different widths of the mounting eyelets. When I went to put on the Jandd, the spacing wasn't right. The spacers from the Tubus worked perfectly, so I used those. If you buy a Jandd and don't have spacers you may have to do something. You could probably make some out of some kind of tubing, and someone probably sells them (Tubus?) It's not a huge deal, but something to be aware of.
