byIan Spader. Yes, A 29-inch wheel is the same as a 700C. However, not all 29″ tires will fit a 700C road rim because of the width. 29-inch wheels are more popular with mountain bikes than other bikes. There is no difference between a 29″ wheel and a 700C rim. Both wheels are the same in size ratings. But the 29″ measurement uses the

700x32ctires are approximately 700mm in diameter and 32mm in width. Translated to inches, you’re looking at roughly 27 ½ inches by 1 ¼ inch. However, these are considered nominal measurements, meaning they’re a close estimate rather than an exact number. There are a lot of factors that can change the ultimate size of a bike tire

3Answers. You need 27 x (some number of inches given as a fraction). So 27x 1 1/8 would fit, 27 x 1 1/4 would fit, etc. Other sizes won't fit. As dlu's answer points out, an easy way to get this right is to ask for ISO 630 tires. That being said, 27 x 1 1/4 tires are still made in plenty by brands like Continental, Bontrager, etc. so your bike
Soa 700C rim is a narrow rim intended to be used with a 700mm outer-diameter tire. A 29er tire is bigger than 700mm (about 27.6 inches), so the 700 part of "700C" does not really apply. Also, since some 29er rims are wide, the "C" part really doesn't apply either. So a 700c rim can be used to build a 29er wheel, but technically
Andas to the 27" vs. 700c question - you may have problems getting the brakes to work properly. Long reach brakes may be needed. You can only find this out by putting a pair of 700c wheels in the frame and seeing if your current brakes work. Going to 700c will change the geometry a bit.
ButI always stand by my opinions and recommendations. The simple answer is this: 700 = 27.5 inches. 45 = 1.77 inches. Unfortunately, this comes with a massive dose of “Be Careful!” because, when it comes to bicycle tires, nothing is ever quite so simple. The better (and still simple) answer is this:
