2. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces.

3. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

   The overall diameter of the tire is then the rim diameter plus twice the tire's section height. The ISO 5775-1 standard also defines procedures for measuring tires and for calculating from the marking the maximum dimensions of a tire, which are needed by designers to determine clearance distances to other bicycle components.

4. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   As an example, if a tire size has two sets of numbers (6-12, 5.00-15, 11.2-24), then the first number (5.00-15) is the approximate width in inches, and the second number (5.00-15) is the rim diameter in inches. If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate ...

5. Gear inches - Wikipedia

   For example, consider a 700c × 23 mm tire, which has a nominal cross-section of 23 mm. 700c wheels have a rim diameter of 622 mm. Hence the wheel diameter is (2 × 23 mm) + 622 mm = 668 mm which is equal to 26.3 inches (rounded to 1 decimal place). 26 inch mountain bicycle wheels have a rim diameter of 559 mm. This ignores factors that ...

6. 29er (bicycle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/29er_(bicycle)

   Larger wheels roll over obstacles more easily. The ability of a wheel to roll over obstacles is proportional to its size. A 29″ wheel, which is about 10% larger than a 26″ wheel, can roll over 10% larger obstacles. [citation needed] The larger diameter wheels have more angular momentum so they lose less speed to obstacles and rough sections.

7. Bolt circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_circle

   An example of use is mounting of car rims, where the bolt circle is one of several factors that determine whether a set of rims will fit a car. For example, a bolt circle of 5×130 or 5-130 indicates that a rim is to be attached to the car via 5 screws evenly spaced along a circle with a diameter of 130 millimeters. [1]
