Kind of the idea is to cram the biggest wheel into any frame that'll fit it without actual cramming. As the front wheel inches more forward (a result of longer tt, slacker ht, more rake), the room for a bigger tire, and bigger tire with fender, increases. In back it's easy, just stretch the chainstays. We have a ton of bikes here to measure, ride, test for that, so it's pretty easy. Thanks for liking the V-ness of it, too. That was emotionally hard for me, since the longreach Tektro brakes were made at our request (John and I met with Tektro people before a trade show opened, gave 'em numbers and wishes, and miracle of miracles, it took nothing more than that, and it happened in about ten minutes.) That is a great brake, I love it to death, but Will likes V-brakes, and he said, "Let's do V-brakes," and sure, why not?
