Are these wheels suitable for Comfort mountain bikes? If not, which of your wheels are?

I would go with Performance Forte Duo Max wheels that can use both disc & caliper brakes.

I use this on a 2004 Giant Yukon and I'm rough on it. I weight 240 lbs and it stand up to my abuse while I barrel down stairs and curbs on my campus daily. Just make sure your air pressure is good and it'll be fine.

Yes, if your bike has disc brakes and a cassette hub (as opposed to a freewheel hub). If you don't know what you have, take the bike to a bike mechanic - he/she will not charge you anything to tell you what you need.

If your bike is a road bike with 700 wheels, then these will work for you. They're on the heavy side and not aerodynamic, but they're strong.

Of course the tires themselves will fit on the rim. Although if these wheels are actually going on a mountain bike, the rear hub does not work since the shifting mechanisms are completely different

I couldn't tell you if you bike will fit on the carrier. I can tell you that my bike is 62cm bike and the wheels on the ground are approximately 42 inches apart where the wheel touches the ground and this carrier handles my bike just fine. I too have 700c tires but not the mountain bike variety. I do think there is enough adjustment in the wheel receiver that your wheel will set in them just fine. I have a couple of bike carriers and use this one the most because the bike rest on the wheels and tires rather than hangs from the frame--and when purchased was really reasonably priced. I'm sure if you get one you will like it as well....Good Luck! I couldn't tell you if you bike will fit on the carrier.

On the bike I got, the tires were an issue. They are 700 X 37 or close to that. The tread is thin and prone to flats. I had 2 from thorns on the same trip. Bought tire liners and thorn resistant tubes which have helped. Definitely not mountain bike tires.

They work wonderful on my 2007 Sierra which has a 4 -2 Drop on it. Seemed like anytime I hit a bump, it would eat at my tire. However sense installing them almost four months ago, I have yet for it to happen again. I put them on with bolt going up, just outside the front springs. Make sure the bolt on top is secured then turn guard until hand tight then 1/4 turn again turning them both at same time, you want ideally 2- 2 1/2 inches between the frame and guard so that it still allows for a smooth ride

Even though they are Kevlar reenforced street and off road grips they are ulimately much lighter than a standard mountain bike tire, I installed with standard tubes on lightweight alloy ribs front wheel weighed in at 3.4 pnds and the rear with sprocket for 6 spd weighed in at less than 5. I would so pretty lightweight \

They work with Shimano SH51 style cleats, single direction and multi-direction. And they are very strong, its a chromoly spindle, although this is designed as a commuter/hybrid pedal, not for mountain biking as it is single sided.

The measurement between the wheel loop is 3 1/2". 4" tires sound extremely wide. Most average mountain bike style tires are about 2-3". Did you physically measure your tires? Maybe you could let some air out and they would fit if they are that big. I'm very happy with the rack. Good luck!!

Mountain x2.0 bike tires? I would not do that. My inner rim width on my hybrid is 16mm and that was pushing the limits on this tire's design - I would not put it on a larger frame. You CAN find stuff that size that doesn't have the crazy thick mountain bike knobbing.Rubena V99 City Hopper Bicycle Tire (Black, 28x2.0-Inch)

I'm 215 and have XC 30's on my trek 4500 and definately a big upgrade from what came stock. They come with a medium spring but you CAN get a stiffer spring if needed. Also, playing with the rebound and preload settings play a big part in dialing them in. I suppose it depends on what bike they are going on and how/where you ride. Just stay away from XC 28's as those will definitely bottom out on you lol.

They fit nicely on my fuji cross pro but I never take them off road. I wouldn't trust them. They seem fragile. I have beefier wheels for when I'm needing to go off-roading. I do use them for commuting. My route is not the smoothest ride... curbs, railroad tracks, etc and they've held up great for 2 years now. GL

I would recommend swapping the wheels out with a more "professional" brand. Personally I swapped these generic wheels out with Orangutan 4 presidents. Swapping the wheels out for a more softer wheel should allow you to glide over bumps. Overall these trucks haven't failed me. They are loose but not too loose. They can also handle hills very well.

They worked fine on a 26 inch wheel. Get a frame that's wider for the disk breaks. I used Ibera PakRak Bicycle Touring Carrier Plus+ IB-RA5 (with disk brake mounts) Frame-mounted for heavier top & side loads and it works great... Just finished a bike camping trip and my rack was by far the best and sturdiest,, the racks about $30 Panniers have plenty of room..

yes I think so, they are very tight in my dropouts. I would pass on these wheels and spend a couple more bucks on a decent set, I had to work on these right out of the box.. they suck

I wish I knew the answer for you sir...all I can say is they sure worked perfect for my mongoose mountain bike. I just had to get a longer brake cable for my front brake. Much easier on my back. :)

yes, they are a heavy strong wheel so the tube/tire should be nice and tight, as in able to hold a high PSI. nice and hard. these can handle a 28 for sure. like I said these wheels are heavy, but strong and VERY steady, as in stable. no wobble like with light wheels. So once you get going fast you keep going very fast. Great to use as your rear wheel if you use only one.
