I just discovered last night that wheel size isn't really the wheel size???
Rather, it's an approximation of what you get AFTER you put the tire on.
So a 700cc wheel isn't 700cc until after you add a "typically" circumfrenced tire to it.
I discovered it because I was calibrating my kids bike computers and their tire sized didn't appear in the charts, so I had to measure.
Does everyone already know this?
