Your "26-inch" wheel is most likely a current mountain bike (aka ATB) rim or an ISO 559.

Using that as the diameter plus 2x tire width (it's safe to assume bike tires are pretty much circular in cross section) gives a diameter of 559 + 2*(1.95*25.4) = 658 mm The circumference will be Pi times 658 = 2067.
