What does 700x32c mean?

Are 32mm tires slow?

28mm tires offer slightly more speed and acceleration on the road, but the improvement comes at a price – a harsher ride and less grip on off-road terrain. 32mm tires make the ride more comfortable and perform better when the surface is less than ideal.

Are 29ers the same as 700C?

29″ (ISO size 622) is actually the same rim diameter as 700C, although most 29″ tires will not fit 700C road rims because they’re too wide. 29″ tires are popular with mountain bikers; search for 29″ MTB.

Can you put a 700c tire on a 29er rim?

Any 700c tire can be mounted on any 29er rim, and vice versa. (But it’s generally a good idea not to mount a tire on a rim wider than the tire, or less than 1/3 the width of the tire.) Both the Alfine 11 wheel and a normally spaced front wheel will fit a 29er mountain bike frame just fine.
