would a 27 1 1/4" tire fit onto a 700c wheel?

Question

i just bought a new 700c wheel/rim and i dont know what size tire to order. i have a 27 1 1/4'' tire from my old 27'' wheel. will that do? and also, i've seen 700c tires that vary in widths; 700x30, 700x28 all the way down to 700x15. would all of these fit my 700c tire?
thanks

Answer 1

No WAY Man! - 700 is 700 and 27 is 27

Unless you are less than 120lbs I would not go smaller than a 23C.
If you are more than 180lbs I would go up to a 25C.

First number is the Diameter - Second number is the width in Milimeters.

You CAN NOT put 700c wheel is a frame for 27's and you CAN NOT put 27's in a frame that was made for 700C's

I hope this helps you out!

Answer 2

No, the tire will not fit. You need a 700c tire. Now depending on what type of bike you have, road or hybrid, would depend on what size tire you would need. Road bike should be anywhere from a 700c X 20 through 700c X 28. Hybrid or cross bikes will generally run a 700c X 35 through 700c X 45. Hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

No, it will not fit. Even though a 27" tire and a 700c tire are very close in size, they are different enough that they are NOT interchangeable.

Answer 4

700C tires are smaller diameter, but curiously enough a 28" (euro, not mtb) tire WILL fit onto a 700C rim.

No offense intended, but I grinned when I saw the "MS-150 mechanic". I saw one of those guys clamp a carbon fiber frame in a stand and crush the tubing, destroying the bike. I suppose you get what you pay for. Again, NO OFFENSE INTENDED.

Answer 5

No. The 700c is slightly smaller. Although the tubes are interchangeable.

Answer 6

Brandon NO they gained't extra wholesome. they have distinctive diameters. Tubes will paintings,. simply by fact they're 'balloons' that replenish and conform tot the tire casing.... so, there is a few flexibility in sizing. Soccerref

Answer 7

I did find out that the tubes will interchange somewhat as long as the valves are the same, BUT the tires themselves DO NOT interchange.
