揭秘自行车的轮胎尺寸（Bicycle tyre size） Bicycle tyre size With the 1/ tire size and rim size The size of a bicycle tyre is varied and confusing. To make matters worse, in the early stages, each country made bicycles in accordance with its own nominal system of dimensions. The nominal size of these different countries results in the fact that tyres of the same size have different digital indications in different countries. The most troublesome situation is that non identical tyres, which are not interchangeable, often have the same digital identification! 2/ traditional size system The traditional dimension system is based on the measurement of tire outer diameter. This is usually done in inches (26, 27, etc.), or in centimeters (650700, etc.). Unfortunately the development of tire and rim makes this method no longer meets the actual situation. For example, let us see why: 26 x 2.125 in late 30s is a heavy balloon tyre (ballon tire) the bicycle is the most popular size, today the size of the tire on the beach cruiser (beach cruiser) is also common in the car.

Although these sizes are m
