Help with tyres

[MOBB]

I dont really get wheel and tyre sizes and what's compatible :-(

I recently bought a Canyon Roadliten e-bike https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/electric-bikes/electr...

The wheels and tyres on it are;

Alexrims TD19
Schwalbe G-One 28" Gravel Tyre

The bike is only used on tarmac really, so I was wondering if I'd be better off putting road tyres on the bike - but would these wheels take a road tyre? what do I compare to what to figure it out?!

Would this work? I dont think its what I already have lol

I believe 28", 29" and 700c wheels all have the same diameter - 622mm.

Usually 29" refers to mountain bike wheel and as such is built stronger with a wider rim than a 700c wheel.

I *think* a 28" wheel is just some other marketing term that actually refers to what we know as a 29" wheel. Basically it's not a 27.5" wheel, so it can only be a 29er.

the only other aspect to check is what tyre width the rim will accept.

Tyres are frequently made in several sizes

The tyre you have will have size markings on it, get something with the same size markings.

As mentioned above you may be able to go wider or narrower but stick to the same diameter.

Thanks all

Current tyres say 35-622

I have bought a pair of Continental GP 5000 32-622's as a replacement, close enough it seems :-)

I think you need to read this.
