700c tire
can anyone tell me the distance traveled in millimeters of one revolution of the 700c tire? I have to input this number into a schwinn 17 function speedometer as the wheel factor.
Thanx Tom

It depends on the tire, and how much pressure is in it, as well as the weight of the rider. The only way to get accurate results out of your computer is to measure! Make a mark on the ground and on the tire, and line them up. Then get on the bike and roll forwards some number of revolutions of the wheel, and measure the distance travelled.
