| Choosing an inner tube: |
To maintain your bike properly, it is important to know the exact dimensions of your tyres.This information can be found on the sidewall of the tyre (diameter and section).For example, 29x1.90 means a tyre with a diameter of 29 inches and a width of 1.90 inches.
On the tyre sidewall you will also find the dimensions in mm in ETRTO international units.
For example, 50-622 means that the tyre is 50mm wide with a 622mm internal diameter (approx. 29x2.00). |
