Can I put 700c wheels on a mountain bike?
You can put 700c tires on most mountain bikes without issues
. Actually, the rim diameter 29-inch MTB wheels are identical to that of a 700c wheel. So as long as the width of the 700c tire isn’t smaller than the rim width, it will work perfectly on a mountain bike.
Can I put 29er wheels on a 700c bike?
A 700C tire will fit on a 29-inch rim – without any adjustments necessary for width and casing length

Can you swap 27.5 wheels on a 29er?
Condensed Answer:
If the bike and the wheelset are designed for disc brakes, a 27.5” wheel will fit on a 29” frame and fork

Can I put road wheels on a mountain bike?
The short answer is

no, it can’t be done

Are 27.5 wheels better than 26?

. Once you get moving, it’s easier to stay moving.
Are 26 mountain bikes obsolete?
26-inch mountain bikes are in steep decline.
