Hey Peter

Just a thought...if it's too hard to measure the diameter could you measure the circumference with a tape measure. The diameter is then equal to circumference divided by 3.14?

Len & all, the diameter is closer to 680 w/ trimline tire...With the hub and axle in the way its hard to be exact... If its real important to be exact on this contact me off list and I'll mount a tire on a bare rim-not built up and measure for you, I have trimlines, grand bois and cole de la vies.
Hope this helps.
