Not that it matters much. I have 1-2" clearance on both road bikes when pulling the front wheel up only. Just curious.
Very simple to to me, standing over top tube and hands on the bar, just lift up. If there is a great amount of space it's too small...or you have the more modern sloping tube. It really is a personal preference situation.
