Joined: 24 Mar 2015 Posts: 4 Bike: | Hello everyone, I am looking to fit road tires on my mountain bike since I mostly use it on the road. I was wondering whether road tires can directly go on my mountain bike wheels or if I would need to buy new wheels for it. The bike is a carrera vulcan 20" frame and tire size 26*2.35 double walled wheels. Also if I can get some information on the cost of tires and labour to fit them? Regards Osama. |

I have 2 tubes with size 700*23/25/28C Presta valve 48mm & 700*18/20/23c Presta 60mm valve. I had bought the Two for my Specialized road/race bike, wondering if they can go on the mountain bike under the new tires in the link? Thanks. |

Joined: 24 Mar 2015 Posts: 4 Bike: | Herbie, Thanks a lot for the links. I was mainly confused with whether a smaller width tire would fit my MTB or not. Now I just have to decide if I want the wide slicks or the thin almost slicks with little tread. Thanks again for the links. |
