Street Bike Wheels

Street Bike WheelsIs it possible to put the wheels on the street a mountain bike into a street bike?

I'm a mountain bike, but I'm more interested in street riding trails. Can I use it as a street bike by changing the studded tires for smooth? Is this possible?

I think you mean tire exchange rather than wheels. 700c wheels, with the exception of very rare and do not correspond to mountain biking.

If you want to exchange tires: YES! It works very well. Simply take to your local bike shop and make sure that the tires are too narrow for your wheels.

Tires should be smooth tread, the smoother the better. For example, see the link below. A 1.5 "tire is a good compromise between ride comfort, durability, and speed. Models fantasy and waste money buttons, your energy, and add weight.

A good option is to obtain a second set of wheels. Keep studded tires on a game for off-road tires Keep street to another. This way, you have the best of both worlds. This for years and works like a champ.

I use my mountain bike as a road bike all the time. I have not bothered to put different wheels on the property. This works just fine.

I fully encourage you to do. You will notice right away! You can also get closer than many ..... All you cut rolling resistance.

Although not the fastest lap, he will. The extra effort does make you a stronger rider, faster.

See you on the road!

You can switch to slicks as the Kenda Kross. They are smooth in the center and still hold on to the sides when you walk into the grass and mud. You can also buy thin (1.5 inch) road tires that will work on the road and also the liter. I use the Kenda Kross and they are as good a coach.

1.5 tablecloths are inexpensive and work well enough

You can certainly change to slick tires, I did that on some of my cycles, and one of my current bike has 26 inch wheels with road tires.
Change the wheels cause other problems, you should check the release framework, and if you have rim brakes, you'll need to bring to lime with larger diameter wheels.

Any change of tires will give you a huge advantage, but you can see that while the transmission is too low, and it will still not be as fast as the road bike.

Most manufacturers do tablecloths 26 inches.

EDIT: Almost forgot, if you have a suspension, see if you can lock-out, because it will absorb much of your energy on the road.

absolutely! I did it and it is even better than a bike city because of the suspension!

Lol, if you like riding in the street (no road bike) to do that lean 2.0s. I would recommend Street hookworms.
