Even worse, the same or very similar markings can sometimes be found on completely different sizes of tyre: 26×1½ and 26x1.5. It might be supposed that these two tyres are both notionally 26" diameter and one and a half inches in width, but 26×1½ is a whole inch bigger than 26×1.5.

Delaware, DE, District of Columbia, DC, Florida, FL, Georgia, GA, Hawaii, HI, Idaho, ID, Illinois, IL, Indiana, IN, Two tyres with the same ISO markings are completely interchangeable, even if one seems to be metric and the other is also marked in inches. For example, 650B and 26×1½ are both 38-584 and should be marked accordingly. Look for the ISO numbers and you always know exactly where you are.

Tubular tyres

Tyres suitable for use with dedicated tubeless rims, or with a conversion system which employs tape to seal the rim bed, are marked using a sidewall decal such as tubeless-compatible, tubeless-ready, tubeless-easy or similar. They have a special stretch-resistant folding bead made, usually, of carbon fibre. Unlike adding and subtracting integers such as 2 and 8, fractions require a common denominator to undergo these operations. One method for finding a common denominator involves multiplying the numerators and denominators of all of the fractions involved by the product of the denominators of each fraction. Multiplying all of the denominators ensures that the new denominator is certain to be a multiple of each individual denominator. The numerators also need to be multiplied by the appropriate factors to preserve the value of the fraction as a whole. This is arguably the simplest way to ensure that the fractions have a common denominator. However, in most cases, the solutions to these equations will not appear in simplified form (the provided calculator computes the simplification automatically). Below is an example using this method. a the decimal would then be 0.05, and so on. Beyond this, converting fractions into decimals requires the operation of long division. The ideal relationship between tyre and rim section is about 1.8 to 1, but any tyre from 1.4 to 2.2 times should fit – always provided that the bead diameters correspond.

It does, however, require the understanding that each decimal place to the right of the decimal point represents a power of 10; the first decimal place being 10 1, the second 10 2, the third 10 3, and so on. Simply determine what power of 10 the decimal extends to, use that power of 10 as the denominator, enter each number to the right of the decimal point as the numerator, and simplify. For example, looking at the number 0.1234, the number 4 is in the fourth decimal place, which constitutes 10 4, or 10,000. This would make the fraction 1234 On the other hand it increases the stress on the sidewall of the tyre. Mountain bike tyres are designed to take this extra stress but road tyres are not. Absolutely. Longitudinal spherical aberration can be carefully tuned to get a desired circle of confusion, and residual spherical aberration affects the transition zone. Sometimes leaving some SA in can create more pleasing transition zones, but at the cost of sharpness. Correcting spherical aberration for one wavelength of light can cause spherochromatism (I wonder if this is cause of the purple fringing at the focus plane for the Sony 35/1.8, and 24/1.4, for that matter - both very sharp lenses). It's all about balance.

One way to define it, popular in times past, was to measure the tyre’s outside diameter and its maximum width when inflated, but this can be misleading. For example, some tyres marked 28" are actually much less than 27 inches in diameter, while 26×1.5 and 26×1½ are two completely different sizes.

Conversely, fitting a tyre of less than 1.4 times the rim section will result in a harsh ride and more rolling drag than a larger tyre at the same pressure. Tubeless tyres Nowadays almost all rims have hooked flanges (required to retain folding tyres) that will hang onto tyres up to three times their width. This increases the cushioning effect: you get more comfort out of the same tyre at the same pressure when you fit it to a narrow rim – yet it still rolls just as easily.

Minor diameter, pitch diameter and major diameter An alternative method for finding a common denominator is to determine the least common multiple (LCM) for the denominators, then add or subtract the numerators as one would an integer. Using the least common multiple can be more efficient and is more likely to result in a fraction in simplified form. In the example above, the denominators were 4, 6, and 2. The least common multiple is the first shared multiple of these three numbers. Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8 10, 12 If the rim is not marked with its bead diameter you can read this from the tyre – it’s the one dimension they have in common.
