How do I know what size bike wheel I need?
If you are unsure of the size wheel you need, the first thing to check is the rim sticker on the wheel. Usually, the size is printed on it. Alternatively, you can check the sidewall of your tyre.
If you can't get your wheel size from the rim or tyre, then; you can follow the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). Simply measure your wheel from the center of the hub to the outside rim and use the chart below:
Difference between wheel sizes:
There are three main sizes for adult bikes: 700c, 27.5" (also known as 650b), and 29", although more sizes are available (like 650c and 26").
Road wheels use the metric system and follow the ISO, while mountain bike wheels use inches.
Below is a chart referencing the most popular wheel sizes:
What is the other number following the wheel size?
When you see a bike wheel size, it is often followed by another number. This number indicates the tyre width used for that wheel.
For example, a 26"x1.75" wheel is a 26" wheel size that takes a 1.75" tyre.
What are the wheel's components?
A bike wheel is made of four principal parts: the rim, the spokes, the nipples, and the hub.
- Rims: The rim holds the tyre onto the wheel and serves as the anchor for the nipples.
- Nipples (or spoke heads): these are the small nuts securing the end of the spokes to the wheel's rim.
- Spokes: They are the connecting rods between the bicycle hub and the rim.
- Hub: This is the central part of the bike wheel. It connects to the wheel's rim via the spokes. It enables the wheel to spin freely on two sets of bearings.
