Will this size (285mm) work well on a typical road bike with 700mm wheels? Most of the references here are to mountain bikes.

Should work fine, i used it on a mountain bike with 28" (just a hair bigger than your typical road bike)

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.

Hi Glenda, as long as your bike is a mountain bike and that you choose the right size, it should fit. These tires won't fit the road bikes.

I installed this rim on a Fuji Sagraes road bike with a Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheel. I'm not sure if it will work on a mountain bike.

If you mean that you have 26" wheels you should be fine in terms of fit and function. The rough tread on a mountain bike tire WILL be a bit noisy though.

I do have a bike with 700c tires and this did fit. Just make sure your frame has the mounts for it as in the picture and your good to go, as it does adjust which works wonders for bikes of different sizes.

I have a Scott mountainbike and it fits, even with the quick release tires. Just make sure it's tight and turned correctly. Fits my wife's off brand bike as well. Don't see how it wouldn't fit almost any bike, but I am not familiar with road bikes...

It should. I have had a very old huffy with 26in wheels on mine. I have also used mine with my Fugi mountain bike,with 26in wheels and my Trek 7.3fx which has 700c wheels.

I use mine with a moderately priced commuter bike, but I think it would work. The coupler goes between the bike frame and the nut that holds the rear axle on, on the axle without gears, so I suspect it would work with almost any bike. Personally, I don't know that I would use a road bike just from the riding position (you'll be looking over your shoulder a lot at first) and the limited low range options for gears. Mountain would be much better suited.

I'm running 700x25, I think you could get away with a 700x30. Refer to http://www.biketiresdirect.com/tire-width-article, these rims are 14mm inside width; according to the chart in the article, you should be okay as long as your frame allows.

This is designed more for adult road bikes. I installed this on a 700 c road bike and it fit just fine and works no problems

Max tire width depends on your rims and your tube. There are a number of charts out there that I find a little confusing that will tell you widths your rims will support. If in real doubt talk to your local bike shop (though they can also be a little confusing). I went with the 2 inch version because I used them on a hard tail mountain bike and was replacing ~2 inch off road tires so I knew they'd work, now I'm on 1.85 inch tires just because one of these blew and I needed a replacement.

It should fit fine. I have the rack set up on a mountain bike and road bike. Both are running 700x32 tires with plenty of clearance.

first, make sure you don't have 26 inch tires, like a mountain bike - because 700x26 is kind of an odd width. i'm sure it exists, but it's not that common. if you really do have 700c wheels, then there's a couple things you need to consider.1. is there any room in the frame for a wider tire? stick your nose down there and see how much clearance you already have.2. is there room for fenders, if you need them? this may not matter.if it fits in the frame, there's no reason you can't go wider. i've done it. if you have calipers or v-brakes, make sure you open them correctly to allow the installation of the tire. good luck. this is a good tire, in my opinion, for the money. first, make sure you don't have 26 inch tires, like a mountain bike - because 700x26 is kind of an odd width. i'm sure it exists, but it's not that common. if you really do have 700c wheels, then there's a couple things you need to consider.1. is there any room in the frame for a wider tire? stick your nose down there and see how much clearance you already have.2. is there room for fenders, if you need them? this may not matter.if it fits in the frame, there's no reason you can't go wider. i've done it. if you have calipers or v-brakes, make sure you open them... » Read More first, make sure you don't have 26 inch tires, like a mountain bike - because 700x26 is kind of an odd width. i'm sure it exists, but it's not that common. if you really do have 700c wheels, then there's a couple things you need to consider.1. is there any room in the frame for a wider tire? stick your nose down there and see how much clearance you already have.2. is there room for fenders, if you need them? this may not matter.if it fits in the frame, there's no reason you can't go wider. i've done it. if you have calipers or v-brakes, make sure you open them correctly to allow the installation of the tire. good luck. this is a good tire, in my opinion, for the money. « Show Less

They will not work on a road bike unless it has wider tires say 700C X 28 and wider. For the mountain bike bike the tires would have to be narrow the widest there would 26" x 1.5" at the most. So some road bikes yes and some mountain bikes but not all of them. I hope this answer is helpful.

Yes they will fit. My road bike with 700x23c wheels and tires just likes yours fits with room to spare

I running a 180 mm front and rear on my trail bike and my riding buddy's are running 203mm. Just need to get the right "shimano" adaptor for the rotor you are planing to run.
