Just bought this bike and thinking of changing the tires. Could I fit thinner tires like 700 x 23 on these wheels?

Yes. They are 700 c rims. I don't see why you wouldn't able to fit the 23's on there....unless the rims are the wider 25's....id have to look when I get home. I'll check back in with this later. You might just have to go with 25's which is fine anyway cause would give you more leniency and forgiveness on pavement. It's a cross bike so I don't know what advantage you are looking at achieving with the 23's. I'll check back later though.

Yes. In fact the rims are rather narrow (19mm) for the fat tires that come with the bike. Quoting Sheldon Brown: "A general guideline is that the tire width should be between 1.45/2.0 x the inner rim width." The inner rim width of the wheels on this bike are 13mm, so 700x23 should be good, where 700x32 is really pushing it!

I have skinny 23mm road tyres on mine but on my 700mm wheels the tyre clearance looks around 40mm max width. I think any road or commuter tyre should fit. Hope this helps.

I put them on my kid's 24" BMX bike which had pretty fat tires which were about the same width as a mountain bike. There was plenty of room to spare when I installed them. I think they'll work fine.

I would like to help, would if I could, but I don't think you could depend (i.e. bet) on my answer. My bike is 700 mm (which I think equates to 27"), the tires I bought were 700 X 38 mm (38 mm is equivalent to 1½", 35 mm = 1-3/8"). My guess is that the 700 X 32 mm would fit, but, a just a semi-educated guess.

If your current tire is 700x32 and this tire is described as 700x32 it will replace the tire you have. Just make sure it's the type of tread you want. it's primarily for street and gravel trails.

Any 700c tire will fit. Only thing to watch out for is frame/fork clearance.

Hi will u can put them on but check tube to see if they go to 32 size it will slow bike down the 26 roll much faster on my bike it put the Micheline city tire with reflective side wall they are good tire just a little heavy 1 pinch flat in the rear 1000 miles they look new and handle great rain or dry

No, it won't fit that tire size is too big you need a 700x23c-25 tires but I recommend 700x25c it will fit perfect the 23c will be tight and its a struggle to put it on and off. The thickness of the tire it depends if you want them thick or thin that's all.

Check with a bike shop or sporting good store. I know you can put on a more narrow size, such as 700 X 38

Can't say without seeing your bike. Look where the front tire goes through the fork and where the rear runs between the chainstays and under the brake bridge--that's where they'll hit if they're going to. I put them on an old (mid-'80s) touring bike that was designed for big tires, but many newer ones won't accept tires bigger than about 28mm. Your 23s are probably less than an inch wide (25.4mm=1 inch), and these are probably 1.3 or so (too cold to go out and measure).

I think the 700 tire is the French equivalent to a 28" tire.. these particular fenders would probably fit but snug

First check your tire size. These are for 700C tires, probably no wider than 35's. If your bike has the right tires the next thing to check is to see if it has fender mounting holes. There will be a threaded hole on each side of the fork near the axle, a hole in the center of the fork right over the tire, and a threaded hole near the rear axle on each side. If you've got all this, they will work

you need tires that are 26x2.125 if you have a 26 inch bike.most tubes will say on box.26x 1.75 to 2.125 put a little air in tube,then put in tire to,install easy..if its late 50s could be 26x1.75 make sure of 26-25 size wheel make sure of your size put wheel next to other size wheel on a other bike keep riding!!

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.

(DISCLAIMER: I am no tire expert) I don't believe the tire size (650mm, as measured by you) directly correlates to the 650c (or 700c) designation. If your rim says 700c, then get the 700 x 23. BTW, the size is also imprinted on the tire sidewall.

Assuming that you mean 27" Rims. My Cycle that has this brake has 700c x23 tires, and it works great . I'm not sure if that helps you.

The wheel will fit a multiple 700c tires. I used these wheels on my sons bike and used 700c x 28mm tires, and they are working great. I don't know what the manufacturer claims, but you should be able to fit tires that are as narrower as 24mm, and wider up to about 38mm. Perhaps a little more. You don't want to put a tire on that is too narrow as it will impact the handeling of your bike.
