700c vs 29": difference? - Bike Forums
Jul 28, 2014 · Sounds like the LBS is definitely a bit confused. 29er and 700c are the same diameter/circumference. The only difference that will impact what tires will fit what rim is the WIDTH of the tire and WIDTH of the rim. Many road bikes have narrow rims, somewhat limiting the max width of a tire you can put on them.
bike size for someone who is 5'2" - Bike Forums
Sep 19, 2006 · Ther difference in efficiency between large 700c and small 26" (MTB) is pretty small if using similar style tyres. Many professional cycle couriers use MTB size wheels and they need to be quick. The ideal style would be a lightweight non-suspension frame using a high pressure road tyre (1.5" wide slick).
622 x 15c Wheel size, what is that? - Bike Forums
Dec 12, 2006 · On road bikes, most people are running 23 to 28 mm wide tires. Some 32 mm wide. Tires of 622 BSD are more commonly called 700C to add to the confusion. Oh crap! Got pulled into a 14 year old zombie thread. I hate that. At least I didn't have to read through a 100 posts before getting to the current question which IMO should have been a new topic.
27" to 700c and gearing - Bike Forums
Oct 21, 2024 · A 27" wheel is ~8mm wider than a 700C wheel - (630mm diameter vs 622mm) - assuming the same tire width (let's say 30mm) - this will result in a nominal wheel diameter of 690mm (27") vs 682mm (700c) - this equates to a ~1.1% reduction in gearing. You won't even notice this, and any attempt to adjust gearing to "compensate" will be a massive ...

Best gear ratio for singlespeed commuter. I’m just in the process of singlespeeding my Cotic Escapade, built around a 39T 170mm Alfine crank and 37c tyres on 29er / 700 rims. I was thinking of a ...
Using hubs on new, but smaller, rim - Bike Forums
Oct 15, 2024 · Since the 700c rims are a tight fit in the bike case, then it seems logical to go with 650B. Yes, the extra 38mm of space, or 19mm each side will make a huge difference for fitting the wheels in. I may still have to take the tires off, or maybe it’s enough to let the air out and squish the tires in, but the rims won’t be touching the sides now.
How much slower is a 26" bike than it's 700c/29" equivalent, on …
Oct 30, 2017 · So from theoretical point of view, 700c is indeed slower than 26" in terms of speed and acceleration...because 700c is larger diameter. Physics rocks! The inertia of the larger wheel will be higher, but the rolling resistance would be less (assuming same tire width, construction, and pressure). Rolling resistance goes approximately as 1/r so a ...
How much slower 20" folder vs 700c? - Bike Forums
All bikes are compromises. . Fentuz. 10-05-23 02:31 AM. 20" vs 700c is a little bit complex. As many mentioned, 20" folding bike are compromised as the main purpose is foldability which often leads to inadequate position. At best, the position is going to be like a flatbar hybrid.
Bike Forums - View Single Post - Surly LHT 26'' or 700cc wheels
Jan 3, 2008 · In addition, it should also be noted that although both the pre built models of 26 inch wheel and 700C wheel Long Haul Truckers come spec'd with the same Sugino 26-36-48 cranksets matched to Deore 11-34 cassettes, the two LHT models will provide substantially different gear inches for any given gear combination due to the different wheel ...
Bike Forums - How many inches in diameter should I expect on a …
The 'Traditonal' names came from a size designation based on the outside diameter of the wheel/tire. 700A, 700B, and 700C all measured (nominally) 700mm in diameter, with A being the widest tire, and C the narrowest, but they all had different diameter rims, in order for the wheel/tire combination to have a 700mm outside diameter.
