Need it to set the speedo up, and trying to hold the tape and measure around the wheel is more hassle than asking on here! smile

Surely you will need to measure the outer circumference of the tyre when inflated on on the rim?

Draw a line accross the tread of the tyre and then seated on the bike, roll it straight along the floor for more than 1 wheel revolution then measure the distance between the felt tip marks.

Circumference varies with tyre size as well as rim size:

700C x 18 = 2070mm
700C x 19 = 2080mm
700C x 20 = 2086mm
700C x 23 = 2096mm
700C x 25 = 2105mm
700C x 28 = 2136mm
700C x 30 = 2170mm
700C x 32 = 2155mm
700C x 35 = 2168mm
700C x 38 = 2180mm

...and approximate depending on the make & model of tyre.

Only accurate way is to measure on the ground as described above.
