The recommended tire size for a bicycle rim with the ETRTO specification of 622x14 is typically 700x23c.
The recommended tire size for a bicycle rim with the ETRTO measurement of 622x19 is typically 700x23c.
The ETRTO tire size standard is important for ensuring that bicycle tires are compatible with rims and frames. It helps cyclists choose the right size tire for their bike, which can affect performance, handling, and safety.
The ETRTO 622 standard is significant in bicycle tire sizing because it specifies the diameter and width measurements for a common size of bicycle tire known as 700c. This standard helps ensure compatibility between tires and rims, making it easier for cyclists to find the right size tire for their bike.
It's best not to use tire sizes in inches, as there are often several different sizes in the same inch designation. Safest is the ETRTO size in millimeters, where 700C = ETRTO 622 mm. If you insist, 700C will usually be a 28" - but there are at least two sizes starting with 28".
24-inch tires can have an ETRTO diameter of 507, 520, 531, 534, 540 or 541 mm. The 20-inch tires can have an ETRTO diameter of 400, 406, 428, 432, 438, 440 or 451 mm. For example, BMX tires are usually 406mm.
A 54-559 bicycle wheel, which corresponds to a 26-inch tire size (ETRTO 54-559), can accommodate various tire sizes within the same rim diameter. Common compatible sizes include 50-559, 52-559, and 56-559 tires, allowing for slight variations in width. It's important to ensure that the bike frame and fork can accommodate the new tire's width and volume for optimal performance and safety. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for any specific recommendations or limitations.
First off, 27" AKA 630 mm ETRTO is a fairly old standard, although tires are still manufactured. And yes, they will need tubes A more modern standard is 28" AKA 622 mm ETRTO, which can be had as clinchers, needing tubes, tubulars with integrated tubes, and tubeless clinchers, which don't need tubes, but to need a sealing compound and a special rim strip.
No. In short, you don't want to trust inch designations of bicycle tire sizes, they offer plenty of chances to get it wrong. The least messed up tire sizing method is the ETRTO system, which gives sizes in millimeters based on approximate width and the Bead Seat Diameter (where the reinforced lip of the tire meets the rim). "Old" 27" is 630 mm ETRTO Bead Seat Diameter. "New" 27 is a rather silly name being used for 584 mm ETRTO AKA 650B (mainly) mtb wheels. All 700C-something tires are meant for 622 mm ETRTO rims, what the MTB industry for some strange reason has decided to call 29er AKA 29", in a vague reference to the diameter of the wheel with an inflated tire fitted. 700C / 622 mm is the most common size for road bikes, with "old" 27" / 630 mm being an earlier road bike standard. There's some cross-compatibility between 29er tires and 700C road tires, unless they're too far apart in width. A real narrow road tire won't fit well on a wide MTB rim, and a road bike frame/fork may not have the clearance to take a wider MTB tire - even if it would sit just fine on the rim. I'll post a link where you can read up more.
26 is really 26 inch, a reference to the wheel size. 26" is a rather confusing size, with at least 4 non-compatible wheel sizes lurking behind the same denomination. You're better off using the ETRTO value, where 559 mm is the same as the most common/modern version of the 26" category. 700 is an old French sizing system originally based on the size of the inflated tire. It worked OK as long as there was only one tire width available, but failed miserably when manufacturers introduce tires of different width. It needs the company of a letter to become unambiguous. Today, most common road bike size is 700C, which in ETRTO means 622 mm So the short answer is that a 26" tire has a Bead Seat Diameter of 559 mm while a 700C tire has Bead Seat Diameter of 622 mm.
Yes. That's the ETRTO sizing standard, with dimensions in mm. 54-559 means that the tire is about 54 mm wide and the Bead Seat Diameter is 559 mm. 40-559 means the tire is about 40 mm wide and the same the Bead Seat Diameter of 559 mm. If the rim is real wide, the 40 mm tire might not be an ideal choice as it's a full 14 mm (or a little more than 1/2") narrower. But odds are it'll be OK.
700x35 is a size measurement of a tire, so it's quite a challenge to figure out what you're asking about.Most common one would be 700C, but there is a 700Bas well that's not too uncommon. These two are notinterchangeable.It means that the tire is about 35 mm wide, and that the diameter of the original tires for the corresponding rim size would have been about 700 mm.If it's a 700C, the rim has a bead seat diameter of 622 mm, also known as the size according to the ISO/ETRTO sizing system.If you're into inches it'd be considered a 28" tire with a width of something like 1 3/8".Do note that tire sizes in inches can be very confusing, and that you can have several different sizes hiding under the same inch number.Whenever possible, stick with the ISO/ETRTO, as it is more precise.
Well, 26" is tricky, 'cause there's a lot of different 26" rims - believe it or not. It's far safer to go by the ETRTO designation which gives bead seat diameter(=size) in millimeters instead. If it's a fairly recent 26", then it's most likely to be ETRTO 559 mm, and any other 559 mm tire would at least be possible to mount. 1.75 vs 2.0 is the width, and shouldn't be a problem.
