700C is used to refer to any tire, rim, or wheel with a 622mm BSD, but
it could be on a skinny-tired road bike where the wheel has an actual diameter of only 660mm
(which is actually a little LESS than 26 inches!), or a mountain bike with a wheel diameter of over 29 inches.
Will a 700c tire fit 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.
Are 700c and 27.5 the same?
That’s changed over the past decade, so the majority of modern mountain bikes now come either with 29in or 27.5in wheels.

.
Is a 700c wheel 26 inches?
One standard that has more or less held for the last decade are wheel sizes. The ‘standard’ road bike has 700c (the successor to 27′′) wheels.

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.
Is a 700c wheel the same as a 29er?
29′′ (ISO size 622) is actually the same rim diameter as 700C
, although most 29′′ tires will not fit 700C road rims because they’re too wide. 29′′ tires are popular with mountain bikers; search for 29′′ MTB.
Will a 700c tire fit on a 29-inch rim?
A 700C tire will fit on a 29-inch rim
– without any adjustments necessary for width and casing length. A 29-inch wheel is the same as a 700C wheel. In fact, a 29-inch tire will fit on your 700C wheel without any fiddling with either width or length.
Are 700c tires the same as 28?
28”/700C/29er

What does 700 mean on a bike tire?
700c is
the size of your bike tire
, according to the ‘French system’. The “700” number is the stated diameter of the bicycle tire in millimeters. “c” is the width code of the tire (as you would see if you looked at your bike from behind or in front).
Which is bigger 700c or 27 inch?
Registered. It’s not really a big issue.
700C wheels have a bead-seat diameter of 622mm, for 27′′ it’s 630mm
. 8mm difference in diameter is 4mm radius, so if you put 700C wheels on a frame designed for 27′′ the brake needs to reach 4mm further — less than 1/4 inch.
Can you put 700c wheels on a 650B bike?
One useful feature of gravel bikes with big tire clearance is the opportunity to use both 700c and 650B wheels with the same frame

Is 700 the same as 700c?
It doesn’t mean anything, really. It’s a historical relic

Are all 700c wheels the same width?
Tyre widths available for the 700C/622mm size standard vary from 18 to 47mm

What size is 700x42c?
Only the 700×42 will fit properly, the
28(inch) x 1.6(inch)
tire is slightly larger in diameter than the 700c and just slightly narrower than the 42c (1.65 inch). The width measurement will probably not be a problem, but the difference in diameter might present some problems with the seating of the bead into the rim.
