Did you know you can do math and conversions in the google search bar? I needed to convert 82 7/16 inches to mm, so I can program my cycle computer for the new wheel size (changed by about 2%, so I didn’t really ride 104 miles in last Sunday’s century, more like 101.5). Anyway, being in my 40s I offhand didn’t recall that there are 25.4 mm per inch. So I googled it. And, in addition to finding this conversion factor, I followed the link and learned about the google calculator.
This is so cool. You can convert units. Currencies. You can ask for definitions “define soup”. You can do Roman numerals. You can do different base mathematics.
And, go ahead and try it. Cut and paste “82 7/16 inches in mm” into the google search bar, and hit return.

(82 7/16) inches = 2 093.9125 millimeters |
That’s the distance my new tires cover in one full revolution.
