∙ 12y agoAssuming that the circumference is 30 inches, it would travel thirty inches in one complete turn of the wheel.
If you are referring to a 30 inch radius then it would be = 60pie = 188.4 inches.
If you mean 30 inch diameter it would be = 30pie = 94.2 inches.

The wheels were solid, no tires and tubes on those babies.
It's called a boneshaker.
I'm assuming you're referring to the tubes in the tires here. The purposes for using air-filled tubes in bicycle wheels are comfort, traction and weight. W/o air filled tires, the option is solid tires, and solid tires gives a harsher ride on uneven surfaces, poorer traction and a higher weight.
The force that makes a bicycle move forward is generated by the rider pushing the pedals, which rotates the chain connected to the wheels. This rotational force is transmitted to the wheels, causing them to turn and propel the bicycle forward. friction between the tires and the ground helps to convert this rotational force into linear motion.
Wheels or tires? if tires, 14. If wheels, 7. There are 2 tires per wheel.
Modern car wheels have a cast metal wheel, so it's all one component. Classical car wheels used to have spokes (like bicycle wheels) and as such, were made up of a central hub from which the spokes branced out - connecting to a circular rim, in the same way as a bicycle wheel. Also, modern car tires are pressure fitted to the wheels, with lips hooking under a rim on the outerside of the wheel, because of this and advancements in tire design, we now have tires with no inner-tubes.

As a bicycle rolls downhill, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it gains speed. Friction between the tires and road surface converts some kinetic energy into heat energy. The motion of the wheels also generates sound energy as the tires interact with the road.
The material that is used to manufacture Continental bicycle tires is rubber made from the Uniroyal company or other companies that specializes in supplying rubber for bicycle tires. To get a more specific answer to the question, a visit to the local bicycle shop can render an answer.
It's pretty much a question of same, same but different. Smaller wheels are easier to get up to speed, and a bit of speed makes balancing easier. Bigger wheels are heavier to set in motion, but once they're moving their weight adds a bit of stability.
Of course not you cannot install 15 inch tires on 14 inch wheels or vice versa. 14 inch wheels require 14 inch tires, and 15 inch wheels require 15 inch tires.
