What size wheel is 700x23c?
700x23c simply means the dimensions of your bike tire, under what’s known as the ‘French system’. The first number, 700, refers to the nominal diameter of the bike tire and is measured using millimeters. The second number, 23, is actually the width of the bike tire, again it’s measured in millimeters.

What size is a 700 x 23C TYRE in inches?
What is a 700 x 23C tube? Let’s start with the very basics: 700c is the standard diameter of a road bike rim. It’s a weird way to word it, because technically the rim diameter is actually 622mm (but no-one ever says that). It’s also 28 inches and that’s even less common.
Is 700×23 the same as 700x23c?
There is no difference. 700×23 and 700x23c are just the sizing for the bike tire.
IS 700c the same as 23 622?

How wide is a 23C tire?
Of course, many of the best 23C tires (often labeled 23mm) actually measure between 24mm and 25mm wide when mounted and inflated depending on the tire model and rim size it is mounted on. Likewise, 25C or 25mm labeled tires usually measure 26mm or 27mm wide.
What’s the difference between 700×23 and 700×25?
The 23s are thinner, lighter (because they are thinner), and a little faster. 25s are 2mm greater in diameter, so they are a little heavier and better on rough roads.
How wide is a 23c tire?
What is the difference between 23 and 23c tires?
The 23 (also mm) was the size of the tire (more or less the diameter of cross section). And the ‘C’ was the size of the rim. There used to be ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ rims (and maybe also a ‘no letter’ rim).
Are 23c tires faster than 25c?
On the road bike the 23s feel faster, but that may be because they feel harder and you therefore feel every stone on the road. Riding these on rough road coverings can be a bit annoying and they do feel a bit draggy.
Which is better 700×23 or 700×25?
The 25 will probably be as fast (some claim faster) than the 23. More importantly, you can run slightly lower pressure, which gives you a slightly softer, more comfortable ride. Also, because you have a little more rubber on the road, you will have a more secure footing on sandy or wet pavement.
