Can You Put 24 Inch Wheels On A 26 Inch Frame

These smaller wheels require a different frame.

Can you put 24 inch wheels on a 26 inch frame.

This answer is not useful. 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. Can i replace the 27 wheels with 26 wheels. I have a fairly nice raleigh with a bad 27 front wheel.

There s a number of lists out there with all the frames suitable for a conversion to 27 5. Unless the bike was specifically designed for a wheel size conversion like the 18 20 prodigy from hoffman in 2003 or so changing the wheel size is generally not a safe and practical option. 24 tires will not fit onto these rims. As a previous answer told you it is not the wheel size but the frame size.

Show activity on this post. Standard mountain bikes have always had 26 inch wheels. You could maybe actually get 26 on if you went from a 2 wide knobbie to a 1 or 1 1 4 tire they are not only narrower but smaller all around but you would still have brake issues. Brake mount positions and tire clearance to the frame prevent it.

Not all 26 inch frames are compatible with a 27 5 wheel as it can easily rub on the stays or bottom bracket. 07 20 2015 06 22 pm elmore leonard wrote. 650b palace has one of those lists on their blog. 700c wheels seem to look oversized on some xs bikes i ve seen whereas 26 wheels would be much more in proportion.

Your 26 tires sit on wheel rims whose diameter is probably 559 mm. To use 24 junior tires you actually need smaller wheels of a 507 mm diameter. No you can t put 24 on 26. Too far gone for truing.
