I wonder about this issue. I'm not planning any trips to Timbuktu or wherever at the moment, but out of curiosity, how does one know what tire size is used in other parts of the world? I've heard for example that 26" tires are the most common in SE Asia, but that's not helpful at all since there are many different sizes. Are they using EA1 or MTB/cruiser ISO 559??
