Hello forum -
I have tires, marked on the sidewall as 700x41C, that are mounted on wheels marked 700C(622x17). I've read 50 or so posts on the subject and I think I have this figured out, but I still have a few points of confusion:
- exactly what does the 41 refer to? Is this the width of the tire, when infalted, across the tread? Is it the distance of the tread from the inside of the wheel?
- does the 622x17 on the rim mean that, according to Sheldon Brown's webpage, I can use a tire/tube sized between 700x23 and 700x37 on these wheels?
Thanks
