Can you put 700c wheels on mountain bike?

You can use 700c wheels on most standard MTBs provided they’re disc brake and provided you only use narrow tyres. (The overall wheel diameter of a 700c wheel with a 23mm slick tyre on is only slightly bigger than a 26″ wheel with a 2.2 tyre on). There are of course 29er MTBs, which are designed to use 700c wheels.

Will 700c wheels fit 27.5 frame?

26 and 27.5-inch MTBs have enough clearance to accommodate 700c rims combined with a tire of an appropriate size. If the bike and the new wheels are disc brake ready, the conversion will be easier.

Do lighter road bike wheels make a difference?

‘We can see that reducing the wheel inertia has a beneficial effect over reducing non-rotating mass, but it is very small. In reality, mass saved from the rims of wheels is likely to be less than 10\% more beneficial than the same mass saved from the rest of the bike. ‘
