Street Bike

Is it possible to put street wheels on a mountain bike to make it a street bike?
I have a nice Mountain Bike, but I'm more interested in street riding than trail riding. Can I use it as a street bike by changing out the knobby tires for smooth ones? Is that possible?
I think you mean swap tires rather than wheels. 700c wheels, with very rare exception, don't fit mountain bikes.
If you want to swap tires: YES! It works very well indeed. Just take it to your local bike shop and make sure the tires aren't too narrow for your rims.
Tires should be smooth tread, the smoother the better. For an example, check out the link below. A 1.5" tire is a great compromise between ride comfort, durability, and speed. Fancy patterns and knobs waste money, your energy, and add weight.
A great option is to get a 2nd wheel set. Keep knobby tires on one set for off road, keep street tires on the other. This way you have the best of both worlds. Done this for years and works like a champ.

Bike Tribes (Hardcover) $26.29 A hilarious and essential illustrated field guide that breaks down the tribes of the bicycling community: from the spandex-clad weekend warriors to the hipsters on street bikes who love to laugh at each other (and themselves) Anyone who rides a bike knows the bicycling world is made up of tribes. From tattooed messengers to pretty urban hipsters to grouchy shop owners, they may look like they live on different planets, but they are united by their abiding love of bikes?and often their total disdain of other members of this insular world. Bike Tribes is the Preppy Handbook of bicycling, replete with one-of-a-kind illustrations that taxonomize the special habits, clothing, preferences, and predilections of cyclists. Mike Magnuson, an avid rider, bicycling expert, and longtime contributor to Bicycling magazine, covers the basics of racing, etiquette, and apparel and gear, including running commentary on cycling culture, poking holes in practically every pretension in the cycling world. Bike Tribes is a fun romp through the various subcultures in the bike community?bound to appeal to newcomers and grizzled cyclists alike. |
