Whether the Continental Gatorskin fits your bike is decided by one number: the bead seat diameter, the second half of an ETRTO size. This tire is made for 571 mm and 559 mm rims — 650C / 26-inch wheels and 26-inch wheels. If your rim matches, the only remaining question is width, and that is a matter of frame and fork clearance rather than of fit.
