Yes, but not without consequences. The front wheel will probably fit, but the brakes won't reach the rim and it's likely that the tire will get squeezed by the fork. A modern rear MTB hub is 135 mm wide, while a modern road hub is 130 mm, so there's your first problem. Then you'll also have the same issues with brakes not reaching and tire clearance as you had for the front. Bikes with disc brakes can sometimes take different wheel sizes w/o any further issues, but keep in mind that pedal clearence will change.

Most road bike wheels are the 700C / 622 mm ETRTO / 28" standard, while most MTB wheels are the 559 mm ETRTO / 26" standard, so they wouldn't fit.
But there are decent road tires in the 26" size as well.
But the 29er MTBs use the same 700C / 622 mm ETRTO / 28" standard as most road bikes, so a road tire would fit those, after a fashion.
Keep in mind that there's width too, and a 29er MTB rim may be too wide to work well with a real narrow road tire.

∙ 12y agoNot unless you have them custom made. Most MTBs have 26" wheels, and that's a lot bigger than the wheel size training wheels are made for. On top of that, a person big enough to ride a 26" bike is likely a lot heavier than what regular training wheels are made for.
But even more important, training wheels aren't much good for learning to bicycle. Kids tend to treat the bike as if it's a trike, and don't even try to balance as long as the training wheels are on.
For learning to bike, a better option is to remove the pedals(left unscrew counter-clockwise), set the saddle height so that the rider can have both feet on the ground simultaneously, then have the rider shove himself forward by the feet. When the rider has a bit of speed, the rider can try to coast simply by holding the feet up.
Once the rider can balance himself while coasting, put the pedals back on and have a go. Most kids transition from kicking to pedalling within minutes.
If it's an adult who's having balance troubles, get a proper adult tricycle instead.

Most road bike rims and hybrid bike rims (and29er MTB rims) share the same Bead Seat Diameter, the 700C / 622 mm ETRTO / 28" size - so the tire is likely to be possible to mount anyhow.
But there's width to consider too A hybrid tire can be twice the width of a road tire which can cause it to rub against the fork crown, brake bridge or chain stays, or be too wide to run safely on a narrow road rim.
I'll post a link for rim width vs tire width recommendations, but frame /fork clearance you'll have to judge by yourself.

∙ 13y agoNo. BMX wheel size is 20" while most common MTB wheel size is 26". The MTB wheels just won't fit. Drop out width is different too.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoWell the axel for a road bike is not as wide as th MTB-s is,so you can't put often a road bike rim in an MTB,but it would be useless anyway!

What is a better shape for a bike tire?
It depends what use the bicycle is put to, it may be a racer, a road going tourer or an off-road mountain or trail bike. All have very different tires.
How can you tell if your mountain bike rims are disc brake ready?
It's no trouble at all using supposedly rim brake rims with disc brakes, nothing will happen because of that. But your hubs has to be able to take a brake rotor and your fork/frame has to be able to take a brake caliper if you want to put disc brakes on your bike.
Is it possible to put rear suspension on a fixed frame mountain bike?
No.
can you put off road tires on this ?
This is a recumbent exercise bike that is made for indoor usage and you can't put off road tires on this unit.
How hard is it to put full downhill forks on a normal mountion bike?
It is not very hard to put full downhill on a normal mountain bike but you need to take it to a professional.
Is it safe to put 33x12.5r15 tires on 15x8 rims?
It is safe to put 33x12.5r15 tires on 15x8 rims because the rim will still maintain a secure seal. The wider tires provide additional traction and contact with the road.
How do you convert on road RC to drift RC?
someone told me to get blacks PVC and cut it and put it on some rims
Can you put a mountain bike motor on your radius FB-1 road bicycle?
There's really no way of telling, as the phrase "mountain bike motor" doesn't tell enough about how it's supposed to mount on. But generally speaking, I'd advice against it. MTBs tend to be stronger than road bikes, so better suited to deal with the extra forces of adding a motor. There's also the question of wheel size. MTBs usually have 26" wheels, while this is a 28" wheel bike. Bigger wheels is like always running in a higher gear, which will put extra strain on the motor.
Can you change the tires on a mtb to make it a road bike?
You can put sleeks on wich will make it more fit for the road, but your mtb will still be a mtb.
How is a punctured bicycle tire mended?
If you have a mountain bike, you can often remove the tube, patch it with a patch kit (auto parts stores and bike shops have them) and put it back in. Those patches don't hold up very well on a road bike with 700C wheels because the air pressure is so high, so you need to replace the tube on those.
Can you put spoke rims on a harley fatboy?
Yes, you might have to fiddle around with axle spacer sleeves to get the alignment, hopefully they should come pre spaced for the bike
What is the legal age to drive a dirt bike?
