Fancy putting some road tyres on my 29er hardtail to make things a little quicker , don't fancy the full roadie bit yet.
So can you fit 700c tyres on 29" rims(seems to be lots of choice) if so what is good if not which 29er tyres. 😕
Cheers
Simple answer is yes, I run Stans Crests on my CX bike and fitted Schwalbe Durano 28c road tyres on it for a bit of winter roadie action. Of course if you run wide 29er rims, like Flows, you may not get the best shaped tyre if you then run 23c road tyres.
700c = 29er
The only things to consider are rim width and max pressure - some 29er rims will be too wide for narrow road tyres and some 29er rims won't be designed for road pressures (though they may well be fine).
Yup, what they said. I'm using 29er wheels on my disc hybrid as they're cheaper than "proper" road disc wheels, works a charm with my 35c Kojaks.
Yes, 29er = 700c.
Obviously you're not going to get a 23c road tyre on a 45mm Dually.
There might be some rim/tyre combo's that muight be tricky, but that's the same for any wheel size.
You might find that pressures needed for 25c or 28c are above the maximum recommended by the rim manufacturer. Some people have done this with no problems, though.
You shouldn't have a problem if you stay above 32c, I'd have thought? *
*guess
Also, if you spend more than a minute or so answering an easy question on here, you might as well not bother. 🙂
Good info
Never even thought about tyre pressure !!
rims are xc ones so should be ok
Thanks all
