Hey everyone,

I have finally decided to take the plunge and get back into mtb after a dabble with skinny tyres.
What I would like to know is whether I could feasibly run two wheelsets on a 26 inch single speed- one standard mtb, one with 700c rims and tyres? My main concerns are regarding changes to geometry resulting from the change in wheel size. Alternatively, would it be easier to purchase a 29er and run 29er and 700c wheelsets instead?

Thanks in advance,
James

    700 with normal road tyres should fit an MTB frame if you are so inclined. just make sure you are running disc hubs and disc.
