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.

To use 24 junior tires you actually need smaller wheels of a 507 mm diameter. I have a nice spare 26 wheel set. As a previous answer told you it is not the wheel size but the frame size. 07 20 2015 06 22 pm elmore leonard wrote.

Not all 26 inch frames are compatible with a 27 5 wheel as it can easily rub on the stays or bottom bracket. I have a fairly nice raleigh with a bad 27 front wheel. 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. No you can t put 24 on 26.

Show activity on this post. Your 26 tires sit on wheel rims whose diameter is probably 559 mm. Too far gone for truing. Brake mount positions and tire clearance to the frame prevent it.

Can i replace the 27 wheels with 26 wheels. This answer is not useful. 650b palace has one of those lists on their blog. Standard mountain bikes have always had 26 inch wheels.

I know that a large wheel clearance is considered ugly i m thinking of the pengy bike here but i ve often wondered if it would improve the handling on the smaller frame sizes. But has anyone tried putting 26 wheels on a larger frame before. 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. 24 tires will not fit onto these rims.
