English tire width notation

[Emanuel Berg]

Somtimes it says

AxBxC

and sometimes

AxB-C

Is this the same thing?

I have started to compile a list of all tire
sizes I come across, and I'm sure I'm the first
dude ever to get this idea. Anyway here is the
result so far:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps one should compile all his articles
into a book, have everyone read it, and be done
with it?

Would that be somehow better than having people read that information
online? Seems the main difference would be the expense. And the relative
difficulty in following embedded links.

It is true that people tend to put less value on free items, no matter
their quality; and people tend to elevate the value of items they pay
for. So let me help you out! Send me twenty U.S. dollars, and I'll give
you permission to read all of the Sheldon Brown articles online.

I suspect that it would be a pretty large book as Sheldon had an
amazing output. For example he wrote the "Mechanical Advantage" column
for Adventure Cyclist, the magazine of the Adventure Cycling
Association, from 1997 through 2007 and in addition was a contributing
writer for Bike World magazine and for Bicycling magazine and then
for the trade magazine American Bicyclist

All the more reason to do it :)

Been done. It's called "the interwebz."
