How to Measure Mountain Bike Tire Size: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners
To measure your mountain bike tire size, you need to locate the size markings on the sidewall of the tire. The size will be listed as a combination of numbers and letters, such as 26 x 2.2 or 29 x 2.5. The first number is the diameter of the tire in inches, while the second number is the width of the tire in millimeters. In some cases, the tire size may also include additional information such as the tread pattern or the tire’s intended use.
