700C Wheels On A Mountain Bike

- Can you put 700C wheels on a mountain bike? The answer is yes, and they will fit on a mountain bike with 26 inch wheels or with 27 1/2 inch wheels. If you put them on a bike with 27 1/2 inch wheels, you will have more room for bigger tires. But if you have a 26 inch mountain bike, you can squeeze 700C wheels onto it. So if you ever wondered if you can put road racing bike wheels on a mountain bike, the answer is yes. If you want to learn if you can put 700Cwheels on a mountain bike, watch this video, where I put 700 mm road racing bike wheels on to a mountain bike. You will have to make sure that the brakes line up properly, and that you have the correct number of gears for the transmission.
Looks like your MTB skipped leg day.
Ha ha! True!
It skipped leg day because... its two tired.
Dominijk Catalan clever asf
to reduce vibrations on 700c all u need is to change 23mm wide tires to 28 and reduce psi a little bit (i even heard 700c might even take 32mm tire) ...
the main difference is the distance between the rear dropouts on an MTB compared to a racer style road bike, 135mm compared to 120mm so as long as you get the rear wheel built using an MTB hub you won't end up forcing the chain stays out of alignment, which will cause issues but other than that just make sure the brakes are hub mounted.
I'm building a PBFWD recumbent, so this info was quite helpful to me, I now know I can source MTB frames and then use roadbike wheels with it. MTB frames are cheaper, stronger and more likely to be steel (easier to weld).
Been riding 700c wheels [32mm tires] on my 26" Dawes Haymaker since 2009. At the time it was my only bike and I would swap wheel sets beginning/end of winter. Only downside is that 38mm is about the max for tire clearance.
A lot of dual sport mountain bikes have 700x38 mtb tires
Hey did you do this “just to see if it can be done” or did you do this to ride it?
I did it just to see if it was possible. I didn’t actually ride it.
You could machine brackets to move the brakes up.
we can put 28" tyre and 29" tyre in 700c rim without problem
you should know there are tyres with widths available for the 700C rim vary from 700x18mm to 700x47mm
Isn't 700c like 29er? I have 700c tyres (semi slicks) on my 29er, didn't change the wheels, just the tires. Solely for road use since I've been using my Marlin 6 to commute.
+Frank Doolz Yes, it is the same diameter. I wonder why they call it 29 instead of 700c.
hoohoohoblin I watched this other video about wheel sizes and iso.. it's kinda confusing lol
700c is the same as 27.5”, 29ers are bigger
My mtb has 700c wheels stock
Yep I did it specialized Infinity flak jackets 700 on a 29 in rim looks cool too
So a 700,×38 is about a 27.5 in mountain bike?
@2:49 Now it's Slim Fast!
That’s so cool lmao!
Great video and u earned a sub
Thanks
*pretty swaggy eh?*
please try 20 inch wheels on an MTB full suspension frame
The 26" balloon tire seems bigger than the 700c. Thanks for this interesting comparison.
You’re welcome.
Why the heck would you want to do this?
No one should ever do this.
You want to have a gravel or CX bike, but no $ (or bike space). You have an 26" hardtail frame sitting around along with the parts to build it up.
I commute to work everyday and I hit the trails on my day off do you know how fast nobby tires wear on the pavement? I was going to buy another set of wheels and do exactly this.. the build cost about $300 including rotors tires cassette... So I bought a hybrid 700c with matching everything for $379 hell if it doesn't work at least Im keeping both bikes wait have no space at home for two bikes (T_T) and worst it was a womens bike on clearance coming this Friday I wanna die.....
To have a cool video
Why the heck don’t they make suspension forks for road bikes? Sidewalks hurt a lot.
Can you do a video riding it?
Looks like those scooters with Thai rim setups
Now that bike looks like a fixie
thats the DiamondBack I own!! I feckin love it
I really like this bike too. It was on a list of best suspension mountain bikes under $1000 when we bought it. It worked great for normal trail riding, but because we like to go to a downhill ski lift bike park during mountain bike season, we upgraded the front fork to something that could take a better beating and was more adjustable. Overall this is a great bike for the money.
Use a brake adapter to raise the v brakes.
You should have filmed yourself riding them, and tell us how it feels. I am thinking to try this with my 26" mtb. I have some 700x40 tires that would probably work well.
Another option that I would probably consider if I was going to do this, would be to get some slick tires like WTB Thick Slicks and run really high air pressure. That way you could go fast, and it wouldn’t look as silly, and you would have good grip and puncture resistance.
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Can you run 27.5 on a 700 ,×38 hybrid
No. A 29 inch wheel is the same as 700c.
hoohoohoblin so does that mean that i can fit 700c 22-28mm to my 29er mountain bike¿?¿
Cool vid. Thanks!
Thanks.
I love it when i did that to my mtb
If you have a 29er then you can run 700 or 29" on the same rim. I am about to make my junky walmart mtb a commuter and going to put 700 x 28c tires on the 29" rims
Thanks. That is the best way to make your bike faster. Much less rolling resistance.
Wouldn't wanna go for a beer with this Lad! He would bore the shit out of you,
I would come up with a clever response to this, but I am too boring.
How come your diamondback fork looks like it’s on backwards?
It is a Manitou fork. They build them with the brace behind the fork legs.
thank you
You’re welcome
is 28'' the same as 700c? I've got a Kellys CRX cross, it is my project bike and I'm planning to give it some wider wheels.
Will 29er tires fit 28'' tires?
That’s a good question. I’m not sure. You will want to find an expert on the Internet and make sure before you buy new tires. I read on one website that 700 C is the same is 28 inches. I think 20 Niners are bigger though.
On do u wanna build a snowman the 9 year old Anna used that bike I think. It had thin wheels so...yea it is. Awsome right like if u agree.
Do not use stanchion protector, it will wear coating faster due to sand, dirt and water.
You may be correct. I clean it after every ride.
I know this is an old coment.. I found wrapping a section of innertube with super glue and zip ties make a maintenance free suspension boot. I even greased the stantion because the fork was old and seized. Now its awesome and ride it in any type of road or weather conditions. Suspension has been smooth as silk. 😁👍
23c wheels on a full suspension mtb... I'm new to those size tires.. but wow rough ride but very quick riding.. I wonder if you created a crotch rocket? :)
Thinner and lighter tires and wheels definitely make a difference, but they look silly. I put Thickslicks on my Hardtail mountain bike, and it’s a lot faster on the street and doesn’t look stupid. WTB Thickslick Tire Review ruclips.net/video/p-e74Eh30lk/видео.html
Mm not cm if it is cm its 7 metres
+Louis Holden Those would be some big wheels!
What size are the full suspension mtb 27.5 or 29er
This bike is a 27.5.
shorten your cables on your diamondback its not the most visualy good looking
I agree. I don't know why it came from the factory with such a long rear cable. We're really lucky that it hasn't hooked onto a tree out on the trail.
Wow that’s so funny 😆
Change the gears to see if you can get a nicer road bike!! Edit: I thought that you were gonna ride and test it.
I think the best thing to do, and the easiest would be to put some skinny slick street tires on the stock rims. I couldn’t test drive it because the bike has disc brakes, and the wheels were from a bike with rim brakes.
@@hoohoohoblin I think it would make a really comfortable road bike
Fucking pointless most cases no brakes the disc is catching in the spokes it's because a disc wheel is dished that way
Anybody realised the suspension was on the wrong side
It's made by a company called Manitou,which produces and designs their forks to be put on the bike and ridden like that
Its called a hybrid, lol
No brakes is not good.
+James Bowser True. No one should ever do this to a mountain bike.
It's very ugly looking. Maybe you can make 700x45c on his tire to make it discent.😆
God that looks hideous!
+Gillenz Fluff Yes. There is no reason for anyone to ever do this to a mountain bike.
Whyyyy 😭
Very glad that instead of asking why you just showed it could be done. Those who have no information at all just ask why.
Thanks for posting this, as a Road Bike owner who recently bought a Scott mountain bike, I was wondering about this. Very interesting.
You're welcome. I think the way to go would be to just put skinnier tires on the rims that came with the bike, and run really high air pressure.
Congratulations, you reinvented Gary Fisher's original 29er.
what about the thicker 700c hybrid wheels
Good video. The best way to go around this is to buy road tires for your mountain bike or fit fatter tires on your road bike. I run Conti Grand Prix 26x1 on my classic rigid mtb and they are great, light and fast ! The tire makes more difference in rolling resistance/comfort than the actual wheel.
100% Correct. More air pressure and less rolling resistance makes a big difference.
put narrow slicks on the MTB's wheelsets and call it done
Lol
Is there work if convert to 22inch wheel?
Hello. Could you do another review on the DB recoil comp? Looking into getting one. I see you’ve made a few upgrades.
+Manuel Estrada I will try to do one soon. It is the same as you see it in the video, except for the fork, which I replaced with a Manitou Markhor air fork that works a lot better and is lighter.
Yeah I bought a 28 inch ebike wheel whilst I got a 27inch mtb wheel
The 700c is the same wheel size as a 29er.
I did it 40c tire found it great for riding side walks. Need to change Crank out for more road worthy set up maybe a 50😁
Such a waste of a good diamondback bike
CYCLOPORNOGRAPHY
😂😂😂
I did this on my hardtail DB 29er but with 700x32 cyclocross tires. Gained almost 2 mph average road biking. It didn’t look bad, probably because it’s a hardtail.
Skinny tires with air pressure definitely make you faster!
Like
Yeah, but can you put aero bars on your MTB?
Ha ha! I should definitely do that.
The road bike is a beauty.
Thanks
Aren't 27.5 inch rims the same with 700c ones?
Yes.
i think its 650 b for 27.5 inch
no, 29 rims are the same as 700c.
27,5 is called 650b, it's not 700c.
No, 650b ias 27,5"
Can you gice me some you dont need bike please
