2. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   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. The offset is the distance from the wheel's true centerline (half the width) to the wheel's ...

3. 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 ...

4. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

   ISO 5775. ISO 5775 is an international standard for labeling the size of bicycle tires and rims. The system used was originally developed by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO). It is designed to make tire sizing consistent and clear. It replaces overlapping informal systems that ambiguously distinguished between sizes.

5. Bicycle tire - Wikipedia

   A tubed, clincher tire showing the inner tube protruding between the tire and the rim. Tubular tire rolled from rim to show glue between them. Clincher cross section schematic with 1: rim, 2: rim strip, 3: rim braking surface, 4: bead core, 5: inner tube, 6: casing, 7: tread. The first bicycle "tires" were iron bands on the wooden wheels of ...

6. Contact patch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_patch

   Contact patch. The contact patch is the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface. It is commonly used in the discussion of pneumatic (i.e. pressurized) tires, where the term is used strictly to describe the portion of the tire’s tread that touches the road surface. The term “footprint” is used almost ...

7. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

   According to Dupuit (1837), rolling resistance (of wheeled carriages with wooden wheels with iron tires) is approximately inversely proportional to the square root of wheel diameter. [34] This rule has been experimentally verified for cast iron wheels (8″ - 24″ diameter) on steel rail [ 35 ] and for 19th century carriage wheels. [ 33 ]
