Lou :
One more time ... Sheldon has left an answer for us.
See this link, and look for the "Dishonesty in Sizing" paragraph.

While frying my brain in the hot sun of south Florida this weekend, several questions came to mind:
1. If I compare 27x 1" tires to 700x25, one would think that the 700x25 would look thinner, but not my experience. Likewise, 27 x 1 1/8 seems narrower than 700x28 and 27 x 1 1/4 certainly seems narrower than the Gran Bois 700x30. Am I missing something in the calcution of converting inches to center with 2.54 x 1 inch?
2. Second, is the SL of Columbus SL a literal translation of Super
Leggere(a) or Super Light? Does anyone know if the same SL translation
was
used for
531SL?
