Tyre Size Question

[Spanky]

Hi,

Appreciate any help. I'm looking to order new tyres and tubes for one of my bikes but am a little confused over sizes. The current tyres are Schwalbe Marathon Plus and the only size I can see on them is "28 X 1.3/8 X 1.5/8". Anyone know what this equates to in the more commonly used metric sizings? 700 X 28c?

Thanks in advance.

28 inch is 700c

1 3/6 inch is 34.9mm(35) and 1 5/8 inch is 41.2mm(42). That's on the tube correct?

Another thing t check is bead seat diameter. 700c is 622mm...
