Hey, just for kicks, I went ahead and tried this...

I came up with 84.25", or 213.995cm or 2139.95mm

Following the chart on the other webpage, it said to use 2140mm... and I came up with 2139.95mm just now... thats a difference of 0.002%... and hey... I'm only human... so, theres room for error...

Roll your bike until the mark has made one revolution and is at the bottom again. Mark that point on the sidewalk. Measure the distance and convert to centimeters or millimeters. Set your comupter for this distance. I started using 700X25 tires today that looked bigger than another rider's 700X28 tires. My tires have a 213 cm roll out.
