  2. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_tire

    If a tire is inflated to 4 bar (400 kPa; 58 psi) at sea level, the absolute internal pressure would be 5 bar (500 kPa; 73 psi) (+25%), and this is the pressure that the tire would need to contain if it were moved to a location with no atmospheric pressure, such as the vacuum of free space. At the highest elevation of commercial air travel ...

  3. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    Light truck tires are indicated by the letters LT at the end instead of the beginning of the sequence, as follows: The tire diameter is given for High Flotation tires and omitted from Numeric tires. 2-digit number: The diameter of the tire in inches. x: Separator character. 3- or 4-digit number: The section width (cross-section) of the tire in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxxis

    Maxxis Tyres and CST tires are wholly owned subsidiaries of Cheng Shin. [1] Maxxis tires used on a Taiwanese bike. The company began as a producer of bicycle tyres and has since expanded into other types of tyres, including for motor vehicles. In 2015 Cheng Shin had worldwide revenue of over $3.85 billion. [2]

  5. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

    Clincher tires can be mounted on straight-side or crochet-type rims. Crochet-type rims are not the same as hooked-bead rims. Such tires are designated with their nominal section width and their nominal rim diameter, separated by a hyphen (-). Both are measured in millimeters. A typical example of a tire marking according to ISO 5775-1 is:

  6. Metrication in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United...

    Some bicycle wheels are labeled in metric as "700c" for a nominal 700 mm diameter road bike tire, but mountain bike wheels are still often sold in inches (26, 27.5, or 29 inches). [citation needed] Common swimming pool dimensions are 25-yard, 25-meter, and 50-meter. The Olympic-size swimming pool is specified solely in meters. High schools and ...

  7. Bicycle wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_wheel

    These rims are the same bead seat diameter as 700C wheels and are generally compatible with bicycle frames and tires designed for the 700C standard, however, rims designated as 29 inch are designed for wider tires than rims designated 700C, so frame clearance may be an issue. The formerly popular 27 inch (630 mm) wheel size is now rare.

  8. Cold inflation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_inflation_pressure

    A 2001 NHTSA study found that 40% of passenger cars have at least one tire under-inflated by 0.4 bars (6 psi) or more. [1] The number one cause of tire failure was determined to be under-inflation. Drivers are encouraged to make sure their tires are adequately inflated at all times.

  9. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.
