why are there so many sizes? what are the 700's? I have a road bike with 26" tires that are somewhat wide. what size should I get? thanks.

There are many sizes of Mr. Tuffy because there are many different tire sizes. "26" tires that are somewhat wide" isn't enough info. Get the size from the side of your tire, then look for the Mr. Tuffy that is designed to work for that tire size.

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

You don't want to put more liner in than you need. 29 inches of liner in a 26 inch tire. Nor do you want too skinny liner if your tires are fat, or too wide liner if your tires are skinny. Your tire should have a size written on the side. Get liners that have a range that includes your tire size. 700 is a road biking tire size. it is however identical in diameter to a 29 inch tire...622mm in diameter. the 700 are generally more narrow for skinny road biking rims. You probably want blue for very skinny 26 inch tires, Silver is for "regular" or "normal" width 26 inch tires, and brown is for the wider 26 inch tires.

the s-7 tires are made for old Schwinn bikes. schwinn had different wheel sizes than other bike manufacturers. buy 26x2.25 and not s7

I am assuming the question is related to tire size, if that is the question, they are 26 inch tires for this bicycle

The 26x2.10 would definetlty look alot skinnier than what your original tires on your bikel ook like now. I know because theses Kendas are the same size as the tire on my bike and they look thinner. They are great tires all around but I would reccoment that you try to find a bigger tire for your bike.

The set I ordered was for bikes with 700C or 29" tires. You would have to get a set for 26" wheeled bikes, and it would also have to be wide enough to go over your tires whatever width they are. You probably have 1.9" tires, so I would say these probably don't come in a size that will fit, but it wouldn't hurt to look.

If you look closely the two different options for each tire size (700 x 23 and 700 x 23mm) have different prices because they are being sold by different Amazon resellers. What appears to be a part number next to one of the 26x1.75 options of 47-559 is actually just another numerical system for expressing the tire size. You were right Harvey, I really didn't answer the question well enough the first time. So my advice, choose the one with the best price and best shipping! Good luck.

These are tubeless tires. Any run of the mill innertube will do. Purchase a road bike inner tube that fits the size if your tire so 700x23c innertube. Pro tip; buy in bulk & buy a patch kit you never want to walk/run 3 miles with your bike.

Really interesting hyperlink article posted by Bruce, from competitvecyclist. Personally I can't get my head around a smaller contact patch on a larger tire, but I'm no one to argue with these guys. I used to ride sportbikes. everything equal (same tire model), we assumed we were getting a larger contact patch, with the larger model. That's why we went for larger tires (same aspect ratio of course). but interesting article!!

i'm not 100% sure..but I had a700x38 on mine before I went to this 700x40 and when I bought my bike it had a 700x42 on it. I wanted a little liter tire is why I went with the 38 and now 40..it also said on the tire ad that could go up to a 700x 42

The Touring Plus comes in different sizes one being the 700X32, which is what I run. I think it is an excellent road tire, however I would not think it would be a good trail tire. The tread is not that aggressive. I suppose if the trail were dry and flat and you were riding slow it would be OK. A small part of my commute is on a dirt trail beside a high traffic road, however I take that section SLOW and it is only a couple hundred yards.

Hi Hungryman, others may correct me, but I've rode both and while the skinnier of the two *may* a wee bit faster I'd opt for the 700X25 for the greater handling and comfort. In fact, my evolution of being an enthusiast rider for 10+ years has led me to choose nothing skinnier than 700X28 tires -- on wheels big enough to accept them, of course. Forgive me pointing out the obvious, but the right tire for you also depends largely on your size, your bike, your level of experience and your kind of riding (commuting, going for speed or going for distance, pavement, gravel, etc.)

maybe a 700x28 tire size. whats good about buying from amazon.com is is returns. I loved the fork.

yes 24mm is the width. according to http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html, you'd probably want a 44 to 54 tire. this would be more like a hybrid than a road bike tire.

This can depend on the type of bike. I'm assuming you're referring to that the wheel you purchased isn't fitting in between your bike frame. If you buy a mountain bike wheel, it may not necessarily fit on a street/speed bike or thin racing bikes. You can also fit various size tires on certain wheels. So while your tire can say 26x1.75, it may not be what was meant for the wheel. Easiest way to know what size wheel to get (beyond consulting your owners manual) is to measure and look for a wheel for your type of bike. (Also, keep in mind if you're looking for a standard wheel or one with a quick release set-up) What is disconcerting is tires can differ between manufacturers. (Check on your wheel and see if measurements are listed on it as well)

That's the correct number. 700x38c is the tire size. I like these tires on my Schwinn Avenue hybrid. Very nice and they have worn well.

Most tires have two dimensions: width and circumference. These rims accept a 700c circumference tire. These rims will accept a range of tire widths from 23mm to 32mm. The width range comes from ERTRO guidelines. The guidelines are just that, and you may be able to safely mount a tire outside of the width range implied by the width of the rim. The circumference is not negotiable. Do not mount a 27" tire on these, only 700c.Source: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html RIP

Sorry - I don't have this tire to check, but Continential only lists 27 x 1 1/4 with ISO 630x32. The general rule for bicycle tires IS fractional sizes and decimal sizes DON'T MIX. It's a valid question - although I'm not aware of that problem with 27" size, I have definitely experienced problems with old 26" sizes even within the same inch size designations. I suspect someone that was unaware of the mismatch issues just used the decimal designation by mistake. Best to check the ISO numbers of the old tire ( that did fit ) if possible - look at the larger number, that's rim diameter. In this case you want 630-xx (for a 27" tire).
