why are there so many sizes? what are the 700's? I have a road bike with 26" tires that are somewhat wide. what size should I get? thanks.

There are many sizes of Mr. Tuffy because there are many different tire sizes. "26" tires that are somewhat wide" isn't enough info. Get the size from the side of your tire, then look for the Mr. Tuffy that is designed to work for that tire size.

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

You don't want to put more liner in than you need. 29 inches of liner in a 26 inch tire. Nor do you want too skinny liner if your tires are fat, or too wide liner if your tires are skinny. Your tire should have a size written on the side. Get liners that have a range that includes your tire size. 700 is a road biking tire size. it is however identical in diameter to a 29 inch tire...622mm in diameter. the 700 are generally more narrow for skinny road biking rims. You probably want blue for very skinny 26 inch tires, Silver is for "regular" or "normal" width 26 inch tires, and brown is for the wider 26 inch tires.

Those tires you mentioned are too big for the size I bought. The chain is great for your application, just get the right size. ( see the manufacturer size chart)

The size is the same. (I think these come from different vendors...check the vendor when you select the size and see if it changes) I think the main thing to look for is if the tire is foldable or not. I bought the non-folding tires. They are a little heavier, but cost less. Folding tires cost a bit more, but are more expensive. You have to really look at the weight between the tires to tell them apart. I think the 700x23c are 280 grams for non folding and 230 grams for the folding. I am a big guy, so weight isn't an issue. I'm 6'5" 225lbs and these work great. I just did a half Ironman triathlon with them and had no issues.

Look at the options section. The tire is sold in two sizes 700x23 and 700x25.

I have 700c on my hybrid. I think its a compromise tire. I toured Idaho this year and was able to leave other road bikes at will. My only complaint is that i think the tires i got from the Amazon seller were old stock with dry rot after just one year.

My thick slick is 700x25c, a common road bike size. It's a little fatter than a road race tire, but a little skinnier than a cyclocross tire. Fits great on the road frame I converted to fixed gear. Hope this was helpful.

I had put ~1700 miles on the stock tires before they badly needed replacing. I replaced them with 700x23C Continental tires. I forgot which type but they have been the best tires I've had. As for tubes I just get 700x23C presta with 48mm stem

Hi Hungryman, others may correct me, but I've rode both and while the skinnier of the two *may* a wee bit faster I'd opt for the 700X25 for the greater handling and comfort. In fact, my evolution of being an enthusiast rider for 10+ years has led me to choose nothing skinnier than 700X28 tires -- on wheels big enough to accept them, of course. Forgive me pointing out the obvious, but the right tire for you also depends largely on your size, your bike, your level of experience and your kind of riding (commuting, going for speed or going for distance, pavement, gravel, etc.)

Not sure what size bike you have or tire you need. If your bike uses 26" tires them yes this is a great tire.

Can't absolutely answer that question. I am using the m13 for a vintage road bike and will probably use 700x23 or 25 tires. I am going for a retro road bike look. I believe the cr18 would be ok with 28mm tires though. I don't know what you are using the rim for, some riders use them on mt bikes.

From what I've read, the Conti GP 4-Seasons only come in three sizes - 23, 25 & 28mm. The 700x28's are what I bought to replace my old Vittoria 700X32's. The 700x28 is a significantly narrower tire (which is what I wanted) and they actually measure closer to 26mm. The benefit is a significantly faster-rolling tire than any 32-35mm tire (and most other 28's, too!). The negative is a harsher ride, especially compared to big, cushy 35mm's. I've had a few flats with them, so they're not as 'bulletproof' as they're made out to be, but all-in-all, they're great tires!

I am pretty sure that the Mr. Tuffy tire liners come in at least three sizes. I have a road bike so I ordered the liners that fit 700 - 23 tires. The liners actually overlap in my tire. I didn't bother to cut the liner shorter and I didn't notice any problem. Check for the appropriate size for your 26" x 1". And.... I have had no flats since installing them!

Well these tires were designed to fit a 26 x 1.75 rim, not sure what would happen in a fat bike rim, may seat the bead well with tire beads so wide in that rim. But I would recommend the Surly Floyd of Origin8 has a good pavement 26 x 3.5 tire for fat bikes. The guy who posted earlier I don't think he knew you were talking about a fat bike, as his is a MTB.

Just installed on cruiser bike with 26" tires-looks good. Also looks too big for 24".? Never tried but advise against using on 24... Try looking for your size 24" fenders on bike model, web-site. Yeah, these are too big. They would scratch frame or you would have to tweak fenders to fit. Ask your bike shop mechanic what to try.

These are tubeless tires. Any run of the mill innertube will do. Purchase a road bike inner tube that fits the size if your tire so 700x23c innertube. Pro tip; buy in bulk & buy a patch kit you never want to walk/run 3 miles with your bike.

I have a road bike with 650x23 tires and they worked great I only had to cut a bit the lengt as the come in 700x23 size. I'm not sure about 26" x 1"

You'll need a 26x1 3/4 tire; Schwinn had their own rim sizes specific to their bikes so make sure you get a tire that is specifically for the Schwinn rim. Would you believe that a 26x1.75 tire is NOT the same as a 26x1 3/4?? Go figure. But they won't fit your S-7 rim, only a 26x 1 3/4 tire will.
