Will these work with disc brakes? If not, is anyone aware of a good economical option of 700c wheels that do work with disc brakes?

No, they are not setup for Disc brakes. Sorry, I haven't got a road disc setup on any bikes, so have no experience with it, so, no suggestions. Good Luck.

Not made for disc brakes. And sorry, don't know of any set-ups for discs on 700's.

No these are for rim brakes only. A disk brake wheel is built with a specialized hub to which the braking disk is attached.

They worked well for me. They should work for you also, as long as your wheels are close to the 76mm size. Bob

No I don't think they will. I believe they would fit 28 or 27" wheels but not 24". I actually bought these four 700c size wheels.

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

Yes, these would work and I would suggest spline drive or acorn lugs. Thanks Mike 224.587.9255

They are made for Dia Compe brand brakes, not Shimano. That said, will they? Perhaps. Cheap enough to try it, I think, if they visually look compatible.

I bought a set of Eigth Inch Ameilia wheels for mine and they worked fine. Google it or go to Amazon and search. They cost about a hundred and worth every penny.

Yes these should work. I have ran these pads on 26" and 700c rims. I have used them on cantilever, V and road brakes.

Yes, they should. I enjoyed mine while i was using it. Very smooth riding with these wheels :)

I don't have these wheels anymore so I can't confirm this but I'm fairly certain they won't take disc brakes.

You need a 27 x 1 1/4 not a 700c like these. These tires won't fit your rim at all. The rest doesn't matter because they won't fit in the first place..

Yes they are. They are long pull levers so they are compatible with V-brakes and mechanical disk brakes. I have tried them on a recumbent with Avid disk brakes and they worked so good, I will be buying another set of these shifters/levers for it after Christmas. They are , however, not compatible with hydraulic disk brakes as they have no fluid reservoir.The set I have on my commuter are still going strong and shifting smoothly even on some rides at below freezing temps.

The wheels seem to come dished for 6/7 speed. You may have to re dish if you stick with the 5 speed. I finally swapped my hoops for 700c because good tires were so hard to find for 27in.

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

I just installed them on my Surly Disc Trucker and they work just fine. I'm new to disc brakes so I can't comment on feel, response, etc., but they definitely work for stopping and shifting.

Yes. They have a flat plane that will work with brakes, but it is not machined, so if you install brakes, they will eventually wear the paint off in the area that the brakes touch the wheel. Also this will eventually ruin the sticker for the brand.
