Mountain Bike 700c Conversion
A mountain bike is going to be a bit easier to convert as they are already equipped with big tyre clearance wide gear ranges and stable offroad geometry. Is actually from the 1996 model production run.

This gives you the flexibility to travel roads that might be difficult on a thin road tireand it softens the ride a little too.
Mountain bike 700c conversion. The bike has to meet specific minimum measurements but it is an interesting option if you want to make an older road or touring bike a little more versatile. Your brake levers would need to be swapped to short-pull models meant to be mounted on a drop bar. My cycle computer manual gives the circumference of the 26x125 tire that I have on the bike.
Sure you could run discs but if you want to run cantis or v-brakes this will help. But the Lorax maxes out at 40mm tires in 700C and more volume was needed. The most common and appropriate 650B conversions involve a 700C bike built around 25-30mm tires.
All in all its probably going to be a lot cheaper to get a used road bike and refurbish it than to convert an entire mountain bike. Since most 700c bikes have limited tire clearance this conversion to a smaller diameter wheel allows for a wider range of tires. You can see what the maximum PSI is on the sidewall before inflating This helps the tire roll quicker and feel better when you stand up.
I already tried looking at some sites and 28 is a weird size. Mountain bikes generally are geared much lower than road bikes. If you have a 26 bike that you want to run with 700c road wheels - you might need this.
An easy conversion is simply pumping up your mountain bike tires to 4050 PSI. 1996 Schwinn Moab 3 MTBhybrid 26 converted to run wheelsets up to 650b 700c29. So I played with installing two different devices to move the brake arms up.
Converting mountain bikes to gravel bikes. This means more tire wear. The point is that a mountain bike 26 inch wheel has a smaller diameter than a 700c racing wheel.
The v-brakes didnt reach the rims. A few factoids on the bike. For this project we used a size medium Advocate Lorax a bike designed around 700C x 38mm tires and an already adept gravel bike.
Youll need different shift levers probably. A Mavic adapter for 700c wheels and a pair of brake post extenders. This Schwinn Moab 30 base model of the Moab line with steel frame was released in 1995 as an Anniversary edition but.
I show how to convert a mountain bike from 26 to 700c wheels. Max suggested tire size is 700x25 - maybe a 28. You will almost certainly need to change the existing brakes on your bike for a 700C to 650B conversion because the difference in rim size is greater than the range of adjustment provided by most brakes.
The 650B rim has a bead seat diameter of 584mm whereas the 700C rim is 622mm and the 27inch rim is larger still at 630mm. My bike tires are currently in need of replacing and I read the numbers on it which go 40-622 700 x 38c 28 x 1 58 x 1 12. That means smaller circumference so more rotations of the wheel in a given distance.
Yet so far I have no indication of which tire I should be getting.
