Very new to this. Can someone tell me if I can use 26" MTB wheels on an old 70's racing bike?

    No your brakes wont reach and the axle spacing is to wide.
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
