How do I know my wheel hub size?
The inner measurement of the wheel hub is also easy to measure; remove the wheel and measure the wheel hub outer diameter with a slide caliper. A tape measure or a ruler can also be used for measuring. Measure the outer diameter as accurately as possible and choose the nearest size from the size table.
What is the wheel size of a 29er?
29er rims have an interior diameter of 622 millimetres (24.5 in) and the average 29″ mountain bike tire is (in ISO notation) 59-622 – corresponding to an outside diameter of about 29.15 inches (740 mm).
Are 29ers the same as 700C?
29er wheels are just wider 700C wheels. Same diameter as a road bike.
Is hub size the same as center bore?
Hub-centric rings are sized from the outer diameter to the inner diameter and are measured in millimeters. The outer diameter is the hub bore, while the inner diameter is the diameter of the vehicle hub itself.
How do I know if I need hub centric rings?
Do I need Hubcentric Rings or Hubcentric Adapters? Yes, if your wheel center bore is a larger diameter than your hub bore, you absolutely need hubcentric rings. This is because aftermarket wheels are typically designed to fit as many cars as possible unless they are custom-made for your specific application.
Can a short person ride a 29er?
Can you be too short for a 29er? Firstly, as with all size bikes, there will be short people who LOVE 29ers and there will be short people who hate 29ers. Professionally, there are plenty of shorter riders (under 5’5″) who race them and do just fine.

How big is the front wheel on a 29er bicycle?
Smaller riders (i.e., less than 5’5″ (=165 cm) tall) may face significant geometry tradeoffs, possibly resulting in toe overlap, high handlebar height, and less standover clearance. One variation is to have a 29″ front wheel and a 26″ rear wheel (commonly called a “96er”).
What’s the difference between a 29er and a 26er?
One variation is to have a 29″ front wheel and a 26″ rear wheel (commonly called a “96er”). Using the smaller rear wheel allows shorter and quicker handling frames, more options for rear suspension designs and lighter bicycle weight.
What is the hub bore on a car wheel?

What should hub width be on thru axle bike?
Thru axle bikes with a hub width of 148 mm do not work with the KICKR SNAP. If you are unsure of your frame spacing or have an older bicycle, measure the hub width to ensure a proper fit. To do this, remove the rear wheel and use a pair of calipers or a ruler to measure the distance between the inner surfaces of the dropouts.
