Okay so I'm looking at putting some slicks on my [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/vitus-bikes-dee-29-city-bike-2014/rp-prod84760 ]Vitus Dee 29er[/url] for a temporary commuting bike,
Please can anyone explain to me the conversion from the current 29"x2.1 tyre to a 700c x ??c tyre???
The rims are fairly wide, so I'd assume a wider tyre would be needed but whats the safest minimum I could get away with?
I'm struggling to find the information online, any help would be greatly appreciated!
1" = 2.54cm, so 2.1" = 53C
Of course, you'll get away with something much slimmer if you want.

So the "C" is actually equivalent to centimeters without a decimal point?

28c?
Ignore the "C" part for the purposes of tyre widths
28 would [i]likely[/i] be a bit narrow on a MTB rim. 35 or so should be OK though.
Marathon Supremes are good fast rolling tyres. Comes in a 700x40. Pretty puncture proof as well.
