seems you don't know all that much about
bikes and wheels and stuff.
no problem, gotta start somewhere.
spend some time in a bike shop looking at
the stuff, read the details on some wheelsets
on the online sellers. go to sheldon brown's
site for lotsa wheel and hub information.
4.25 in = 108mm
no. either your ruler is off, or your fork is seriously bent
or you're measuring outside the arms...but where?
pretty sure it's 100mm (unless a tiny 74mm dahon).
6 in = 152mm
no. should be 135, or perhaps 130.
or did you buy a mislabeled "boss hoss"?
the internets has lotsa sites that will show you
how to measure frames and hubs.
youtube will talk you through it.
i suggest you spend some quality time with
your browser before buying new wheels.
