What's the biggest bicycle wheel?

Planning my next build, what's the largest diameter wheel available?

Have a look at 36er bikes. Largest I'm aware of without making your own.

Oh wait, tyres.

Many an ordinary had a big front wheel.

If it's tyres then I think 36" is still the biggest, they are pricey!

36er's, although 33'ers is about the limit if you want to be able to buy tyres and tubes relatively easily.

£164 for a pair. Ouch.

Maybe expensive, but being unique isn't cheap!

Thats a great site.

Thank you
