    Not really, because a lot will depend on your rim width.

    This is true. To simply measure the tyre, you need to flatten the tyre and measure from bead to bead across the entire width, for fitted sizes - it depends on the rim width. FYI, here is some info on fitted tyre widths for one wheel manufacturer - hunt bike wheels in the UK.

    Sectors measure 28.0 on Easton EA90RT wheels which have an internal rim width of 17.5mm and external rim width of 22mm.
