I'm a one man fight against dumb standards, trying to buy only stuff with 31.8...
Pah, 22.2mm bars, the one true standard!
The tyres bit of the SJS site is good for opening your eyes to the stupid number of 'standards'. Think they have three 20" standards and another three 24"

And you really play with you the 28x1 1/2 on the Guv’nor are bigger than 29ers and also referred to as 700x38b or 40-635 Try asking for 700b tyres in halfruads or Evans
Sorry Haley, back to the plot.

I haven't owned a BMX for 20 years. 22.2 may as well be penny farthing era. At least for a while most road and mtb bikes settled on 31.8. Then some DH knobbers decided to add 35 into the mix. I'm kinda ok with that, same as the rotor sizes thing. Thru axles is getting there but I wish they'd pick a thread pitch and stick to it. Same goes for this Boost crap. Just piss off and leave the spacing alone.

Really. The only bikes I've ever seen or heard of with 26" wheels/tyres are the mountain bikes that everyone has owned for the last 20+ years.
650B and 27.5 are new to me as of gravel bikes and 29ers I knew about but ignored for years.
I know there's some weird other French sizes and I grew up riding bikes with those 27 1/4 or whatever they were wheels and tyres (the annoying bikes that 700C brakes etc wouldn't work on)
I'm a one man fight against dumb standards, trying to buy only stuff with 31.8, 27.2, BSA68... 700C, the one true 26, 29 now grrr, ok 650B happened, sorry about that, we all make mistakes...
