Can one use a 26″ tube in a 27.5″ tire or a 27.5″ tube in a 29″ tire?

Asked by: Jesse Gaulden

In real world applications, a 26″ tube will work perfectly fine in a 27.5″ tire.

Can I use 27.5 tube in a 29 tyre?

Always carry a presta-valved 27.5 tube with me as a spare, can be used for 26/27.5/29 wheels with presta/schrader size valve holes so covers all bases. No problem at all.

Can you put a 26 inch tube on a 29 inch wheel?

Valve size is more important than tube size. Take one of each variety (presta/schrader). I’ve run 26″ in 24″ wheels in an emergency with no issues, so 29 in 26 or vice versa will be fine.

Can I use a different size tube for bike tire?

Whether using an inner tube that is narrower or wider than the tire it is going to be a pretty straightforward process. You will use it just like you would use one of the correct sizes. A narrower inner tube will fit right into the tire whereas a wider one may need a little bit of coaxing.

Will a 27 inch tube fit a 27.5 tire?

650b – Mr. 27-5. 26″ tubes work perfectly well with 27.5″ wheels.

Can I use 26 tube in a 27.5 tire?

Will it fit with my 27.5 tire and rim? In real world applications, a 26″ tube will work perfectly fine in a 27.5″ tire.

Can I put 29 wheels on a 27.5 frame?

Yes, you can do it. The diameter of a 29″ wheel & tire is slightly larger than a 27.5+ wheel & tire. The 29″ setup will raise your bottom bracket height.

Can I put 26 wheels on a 29er?

Condensed Answer: Technically, it’s possible to install 26″ wheels on a 29″ bike if both are designed for disc brakes. However, 26″ wheels will cause drastic changes to the bike’s geometry (e.g., dangerously low bottom bracket) to the point where the conversion becomes pointless and dangerous.

Can 26 wheels replace 29?

Yes, you can switch back to a 26 inch mountain bike from 29 inch wheels whenever you need. Usually, no rider wants to go back to 26-inch wheels after replacing them with 29-inch wheels.

Can I put a 29er fork on a 26 bike?

It would work, but there would be no benefit to it at all. It would probably just mess up the bikes geometry and add weight. You would only get more travel if the fork you put on has more travel than the one its replacing.

Can you use a bigger tube in smaller tire?

Yes, you can, as long as you don’t go more than one size smaller, or the differential is not too extreme. A 1.25 in a 1.5 is fine. A 1.25 in a 2.25 is likely to have issues with flats.

Can you put larger tube in tire?

A narrower inner tube will balloon out to fill a tyre a few millimetres wider than its recommended width – but don’t take it too far or it might explode. Likewise, a tube rated a bit wider than your tyre will usually fit, although it can be awkward to fit one that’s a lot wider than the tyre.

How do I know what size bike tube I need?

The best way to check what size inner tube you need is to look on the sidewall of your tyre. Tyre manufacturers print the size on the sidewalls, so look out for numbers such as ‘700x23c’ for a road bike, or ’26×1. 75′ which is for mountain bikes.

Will a 26 fork fit a 27.5 wheel?

Condensed answer: A 26-inch wheel can be easily installed on a 27.5 fork if both are disc brake ready. If the fork uses rim brakes, however, the braze-ons would be a bit higher, and the calipers won’t catch the rim.

Can I put a 700C tire on a 27.5 rim?

No, a 28″ tire is 700c generally, but a 27″ tire will not fit. Tubes, on the other hand, will work just fine. Show activity on this post. 700 c tire will is too small to put on 27″ rim

Is 26 inch tube the same as 700c?

What Is The Difference Between a 26 Inch and a 700c Wheel? This brings us around back to the same answer; they are the same diameter, but a 26-inch tire will fit onto a 700c rim but not the other way around because of the difference in rim thickness.

Can you put 28 inch wheels on a 26 inch bike?

The 26-inch wheels and 28-inch wheels are dissimilar enough that you should not try to switch one for the other. The 28-inch wheels are too large to fit in a frame for 26-inch wheels, while the brake assembly on a bike using 28-inch wheels will not reach far enough to work with 26-inch wheels.

Can I put 29 wheels on a 27.5 Fork?

Most modern 27.5 forks will not fit a 29″ wheel.

Can you change wheel size on a bike?

Yes, you can change the wheel size on your bike.



The wheels are no exception. However, you have to consider if the wheel fits onto the bike. Think of it this way; you can fit a small foot into a big shoe, but you can’t squeeze a big foot into a small shoe.

Can you fit 26 wheels on a 27.5 frame?

Condensed answer: A 26-inch wheel can be easily installed on a 27.5 fork if both are disc brake ready. If the fork uses rim brakes, however, the braze-ons would be a bit higher, and the calipers won’t catch the rim.

Do bigger wheels make a bike go faster?

Yes; provided the wheels are turning at the same RPM. You have to put proportionately more effort into turning a big wheel but it will go faster if you can keep it spinning at the same rate as a small one.
