My current tires appear to be 23mm by 650mm (with a tape measure) but the actual rim says 700c on the inside. Should I purchase 650 or 700?

(DISCLAIMER: I am no tire expert) I don't believe the tire size (650mm, as measured by you) directly correlates to the 650c (or 700c) designation. If your rim says 700c, then get the 700 x 23. BTW, the size is also imprinted on the tire sidewall.

700c is not the measurement of the rim size in mm. If your rim says 700c, then that is the size of tire you will need. If you care about the details, see this article: http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

That question goes beyond my knowledge. I would advise you to ask your bike mechanic or LBS (local bike shop), although you would think that the bike rim would be a reliable indicator of the size tire to install. I'm going to "punt" on that question.

I googled this and based on the following, it should fit. 700 is the size of the wheel and tire which the tube is intended to fit. In this case, 700 means 700c, or ISO diameter 622mm rims. If you are unfamiliar with tire sizes, take a look here.28/32 designates the min/max range of width of the tire which the tube is intended to fit, in mm. So in your case, your tubes are designed to fit tires of width 28mm (minimum) to 32mm (maximum). This range should correspond to the width of your rim as well.

That's the correct number. 700x38c is the tire size. I like these tires on my Schwinn Avenue hybrid. Very nice and they have worn well.

I think it comes in different sizes. 26" is usually a fatter tire. I think this is mostly for the 700c. I purchased the 700c for 25mm tires.

This rim is used on hybrid bikes. While the physical width is 24mm you will need to mount a hybrid tire. 700 x 32 to 700 x 38 would be your best choices. Matching the front size would also work well.

They are a 700c tire. They are closer to a 28 or 29 inch size but aren't meant for either

John, Sorry I don't know. When I bought the 700x32c tires I was replacing my 700x28c tires.

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

No difference. 700-28 mm refers to size of tire. 700 mm is roughly 28 in (diameter) and 28 mm is the thickness

I would like to help, would if I could, but I don't think you could depend (i.e. bet) on my answer. My bike is 700 mm (which I think equates to 27"), the tires I bought were 700 X 38 mm (38 mm is equivalent to 1½", 35 mm = 1-3/8"). My guess is that the 700 X 32 mm would fit, but, a just a semi-educated guess.

When you say tube, the tube size depends on the tire size. So, a 700x23 tire would take what you seem to be saying is a 20-25 tube. A 700x25 tire would require, obviously, the larger size tube. Having ridden both, my preference is definitely the "skinnier" tire--700x23. Might give up a little in comfort, but you will gain less rolling resistance.

20 mm inside 25 mm outside This means a good tire size would be 32-47mm Of course, you could theoretically go as low as 20mm, but that could slip off. I have gone as low as 23mm, but quickly changed once I had a wider tire. Source: http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

I have the 700x23 and they are just at 23mm, I guess it also depends on how accurate your measurements are and on or off the rim...great tire though, handles the gravel that gets on the back roads and has been wearing very well...

The tire size is 700 x 38 so you would need a tube that is the same size. You only stated 700c as the tube size , that is an incomplete size number, the 38 in the tire size is it's width so get a tube that is that size also (700 x 38).

i'm not 100% sure..but I had a700x38 on mine before I went to this 700x40 and when I bought my bike it had a 700x42 on it. I wanted a little liter tire is why I went with the 38 and now 40..it also said on the tire ad that could go up to a 700x 42

Either the 16mm or 17mm should be fine. If you have the tire off, measure the groove but I'm pretty sure either the 16 or 17mm will be fine. If there's a difference in price, get the cheaper one. Velox rim tape is excellent and easy to install. I've gotten many flats because of crappy tim tape/rubber strips and now whenever I get a new/used bike, I always replace the rim tape if there's not good quality tape on the wheels. I hate changing flats...

Not sure what you mean by do they fit 700 x 23s. These tires fit 700 rims and you can usually get them in widths of 23 or 25. That is typically the size used on road bikes. I have them and they are great on pavement. Light weight, good protection against punctures, and good traction in wet conditions. They are too narrow for gravel in most cases.
