The answer ... 2259

It's interesting to compare the Sheldon Brown's table to the table in the Sigma's 1606L manual
-- there are significant differences in the numbers (circumference in millimeters) for the same wheel sizes.

Sheldon Brown's table:
700x18C 2102
700x20C 2114
700x23C 2133
700x25C 2146
700x28C 2149
700x32C 2174
700x35C 2205
700x40C 2224

Sigma's table:
Tire Size Miles Km
700 X 44 1382 2224
700 X 38 1355 2180
700 X 35 1347 2168
700 X 32 1339 2155
700 X 28 1327 2136
700 X 25 1308 2105
700 X 23 1302 2097
700 X 20 1296 2086

Why?
