Can some one tell me the total diameter of a 29er tyre on a rim? Say 2.1 or 2.3.
Got a project in mind.

622mm is the Outside diameter of the rim.

A 2.1" tyre will be approximately 53mm tall, or thereabouts.

so use 622 + 53 + 53 = 728mm

You count the tyre height twice by the way.

Outside diameter? 3 inches too big, surely? ๐Ÿ˜€

2.5 inches actually, but now we're just being pedantic! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just put a tape measure across my wheels. Came in at about 740mm. Funily enough that about 29".
