Will 1.9/2.0" fit my 1.5/1.75" wheel?

RPTee

Hi everyone!

New to the forum here so I'm sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place. I've just purchased a 26" x 1.75" rear wheel online and upon opening up the item today, it's a 1.5/1.75" wheel (so it says on the sticker). I have really good Schwalabe 1.9/2.0" tyres that I'd like to keep using. So my question is, am I able to use these tyres with this wheel? Would there be a noticeable difference from the one I have now?

It's maybe worth mentioning I bought this wheel so I could attact a gear cassette, my old rear wheel has a flywheel attached.

Thanks!

Should be fine, try them and see.

ps. It's a freehub, your old wheel was a freewheel.

I have 2.25" tyres on 19mm internal width rims, no problem.

Thanks thus is all very helpful. I wasn't quite sure to begin with but now I'm confident it'll fit great.
