Yakob/Merged article on tyre size
Narcoleptic Insomniac:
You can switch your between street mode and trails mode just by changing rear tires.
For street one that matches the size of the front and for trails a 1.95".
dude...:
i noticed on insta this morning that fit has restocked all their big fat coloured street tyres in 2.3 and 2.4, but are also now going to be offering them in 2.1
is the market switching back to thinner tyres again?
Eggit2:
I thought this article was extremely poor. It doesn't really say anything other than "Here or some numbers we pulled off DansComp".
It asks "what even makes it a 22 inch wheel? What, for that matter, makes a 20 inch wheel a 20 inch wheel?!" and then doesn't even answer it.

At work we deal with precision rubber cylinders about 5" diameter with a .0004" tolerance. We run into QC issues with them constantly, in some cases a part was measured in spec at 70 degrees, shipped over seas, then shipped back, and its now suddenly .010" out of spec at 70 degrees. These things aren't even inflated or anything, its just solid rubber.
master:
I read the article when it was posted, the main point is "bigger tires are bigger, companies suck at labeling/measuring tires, geometry can change by changing variables that affect geometry."
It didn't seem worthy of a thread here IMO. I'm sure some bmx kids found value in it though.
Anything Else:
