Take that times 2, since it sticks out on both sides, so 26 + 2.25 + 2.25 = 30.5". Doing the same for 29 x 2.3 = 29 + 2.3 + 2.3 = 33.6"
A typical road bike tire is something a bit less that 1" wide (like 21mm or 23mm) but being charitable 29 + 1 + 1 = 31"
yo b1tch! don't dis my maths'
A traditional mountain bike rim diameter isn't 26'' you dumbass. the tire is. the rim is 559mm (22'') diameter
same thing with a 29er. The rim is 622mm (24.5'') diameter.
