Jacob: I defy and contradict and rebut Garth when he says: "*The term "29er" came about because the mtb crowd wouldn't dare be associated with them thar road biker crowd so they had to call it* something.*"* The term "29er" describes the rough diameter of a 700C wheel with a roughly 2" tire, just as "26 inch" describes a Schwinn cruiser wheel with a roughly 2" tire.
FWIW: 700C X 50 gives about 29", 700C X 60 mm gives about 29 1/2", and 700C X 70 mm gives about 30 1/2", at least if it has knobs. Patrick "and a "twenty six inch" rim with 1" tire has a ~24" diameter, a 26" rim with a 28 mm tire a ~24.8" diameter, a 26 X 32 about a 25" diameter, and a 26 X 42 mm a ~25.6" diameter ... in case you were wondering" Moore On Wed, Jun 8, 2022 at 4:01 PM Jacob Lopez <jakelop...@mail.fresnostate.edu> wrote: > Hi, All. > > I did a quick search but didn't find a thread, so let me know if you know > of one re this topic and I can remove this re Clem L's 59cm with 29ers: > > I noticed on the Riv site that 59cm Clem's can take 700c rims and "29er > Tires".
