In the mountain world we call it 27.5". In the road world, they call it 650b. If you hear the former, you know they're talking about a mountain bike.
Once you’ve identified your tire diameter (29”, 27.5” or 26”), you’ll want to dial in your width: A cross-country bike will have tires in the 1.9" to 2.25" width range. Trail and all-mountain bikes will have tires in the 2.25" to 2.4" width range. Downhill bikes, which are meant to withstand the abuse of drops and rock gardens, are
A standard 26 x 1.95 tire is approximately 26″ in diameter and has a width of approximately 1.95″. Generally speaking, a wider tire will give you more cushion and act like additional suspension for your bike. A 26 x 2.5 tire will feel a lot nicer than the 26 x 1.95 tire when you hit bumps or pot holes. The downside to wider tires is that
I have a fairly nice Raleigh with a bad 27" front wheel. Too far gone for truing. I have a nice spare 26" wheel set. Can I replace the 27"wheels with 26" wheels. I'm thinking the brakes pads would need to be move 1/2 inch and as the replacement rear 26" wheel is a 3 speed Shimano hub, their would be no dersillers to set up.
Know your Bicycle. MTB wheel size is one of the most interesting topics for Cyclists. If you are new to Cycling, the whole subject can be quite confusing. There are three sizes of wheels predominantly in use in mountain biking; 26 inch, 27.5 inch which is sometimes called 650B, and 29 inch, and put simply, the size of wheel you choose will
Lower pressures can lead to a greater risk of punctures however. It is important that you find the right tyre pressure do not exceed the maximum. Most mountain bike riders tend to run lower pressures (often below the recommended limit) as the additional grip makes a big difference to handling on rough technical tracks, especially in the wet
The shorter wheelbase and smaller radius let you steer the bike instead of just leaning it. Cornering on a mullet is really the best of both worlds. You get the nice smooth arc of a 29er with the added maneuverability of the 27.5”. The front wheel swings wide while the back wheel kind of dives inside and cuts a tighter path.
