no, all computers have settings for pretty much every wheel and tire size available. during setup, a specific code for that particular wheel/tire size is entered and all is good.
If its a pre 29er computer you'll have to do some measurents and calculate the code for the computer.
Bike computers work on the actual circumference of your wheel and tire choice.
The most accurate way is to perform a rollout, a complete revolution of the front wheel. Mark the start and the finish on the floor then measure.
Your computer should be able to take the circumference.
Most people are too lazy, like me, and just for the estimated number to input.
like i said, they typically have all the sizes for most wheel and tires sizes built into them
Not at all. Every (non GPS) computer needs to be set to the wheel/tire size of the bicycle. Most can be calibrated for diameters from 12 to 39 inches.
