What size wheel is 700x28c?

700x28c simply means the size of your bicycle tire, according to what’s known as the ‘French system’. “700” is the overall diameter of the bike tire, measured in millimeters.

How do you calculate wheel rolling diameter?

The section height of the two sidewalls added to the diameter of the rim. By using the same “inches to millimeters” conversion for the rim diameter we find that 15 (inches) x 25.4mm = 381mm….Example

1. 265 x 75% = 198.75.
2. 198.75mm x 2 = 397.50mm.
3. Rim Diameter + 381.00mm.
4. Outside Diameter = 778.50mm.

What’s a 33 tire size?

The 33” refers to the width of the tire (285) multiplied by the height percentage of the sidewall (75), in millimeters, x2 because there are two sidewalls, divided by 25.4 (inches) plus the wheel size in inches (16”).

What size is a 700c wheel in inches?

29 inches
All road and cyclocross bikes are built with 700c wheels, which are 29 inches. However, 700c wheels are designed to accommodate a thinner tire. Many come in widths ranging from 18 to 23 millimeters, with touring tires ranging from 25 to 28 millimeters.

WHAT IS 700c wheel size in inches?

What does the C mean in 700c tires?

700c is the size of your bike tire, according to the ‘French system’. The “700” number is the stated diameter of the bicycle tire in millimeters. C refers to the old French system which classified tire widths from “a” (the narrowest) to “d” (the widest). So, a “c” tire was almost as wide as these would get.

How do I calculate circumference from diameter?

2 x radius
Circle/Diameter

How do you find the diameter in inches?

Multiply the radius by 2 to find the diameter. For example, if you have a radius of 47 inches, multiply 47 by 2 to get a diameter of 94 inches.

How big is a 700 x 28c tire?

The calculator above is based on the ISO/ETRTO (European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization) tire size which specifies tire size as a tire width and rim circumference in mm. A ISO tire size of 28-622 is how we would refer to a 700 x 28C tire has a tire width of 28 mm and a rim diameter of 622 mm.

How do you calculate the size of a bicycle wheel?

(The logical version) Wheel diameter = (rim diameter) + (tire diameter * 2). Wheel circumference = Wheel diameter * PI. Since the tire wraps around your rim, the wheel diameter includes the tire on both sides (thus the multiplication by 2).

What does 700 mean on a bike tire?

“700” is the overall diameter of the bike tire, measured in millimeters. “28” is the width of the tire, again in millimeters and “c” refers to the width code of the tire (like you’d see when you look at your bike either from behind or in front).

How big is the rim on a Rivendell 700C wheel?

But, basically, there are only 3 common wheel sizes which you can consider as Large (622mm rim diameter), Medium (584mm) and Small (559mm). See the explanation here: Rivendell: 700C wheels – Note the rim diameter is more precisely known as the “bead seat diameter” or BSD.
