What is the difference between 700C and 27-inch wheels?
The difference between 700C and 27" is pretty small. The rims are 622mm and 630mm so the actual change in brake shoe position is 4mm (less than 1/4"). Look at your brakes and decide whether they will suit. You may be able to change the brakes to ones with longer arms (assuming caliper types).
Will a 700C tube fit a 27-inch tire?
Yep, a standard 700C tube will fit a 27" tire (and most tube boxes bear multiple markings to indicate this). Just convert the inch width to mm to get the width of the 700C tube, if the box doesn't say the inch size.Mar 10, 2013
Can I put 700C tires on a 27-inch bike?
27-inch and 700C tires are close enough in size that the inner tubes are compatible; i.e. you can use a 27-inch inner tube in a 700C tire, and vice-versa. However, you can NOT use a 27-inch tire on a 700C wheel, and vice-versa.Nov 15, 2011

Can you put 700c tires on mountain bike?
Condensed answer: 29-inch MTBs already use 700c wheels. 26 and 27.5-inch MTBs have enough clearance to accommodate 700c rims combined with a tire of an appropriate size. If the bike and the new wheels are disc brake ready, the conversion will be easier.

Will a 700c tire fit a 26 inch rim?
It's possible to find 26-inch tires that will fit on 700c rims, but a 700c tire will not fit on a 26-inch rim without stretching the sidewalls of the tire just enough to make it fit, especially if you use a tire with especially thick sidewalls.May 31, 2021
Are 700c wheels bigger than 26?
700c wheels are weaker- Because 700c wheels are larger in diameter and use longer spokes, they are structurally weaker than 26 inch wheels. This means they can't take as much of a beating or handle as heavy of loads without bending or breaking spokes. They are less durable.Oct 4, 2021
