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.

The Broken Bike Boy and the Queen of 33rd Street $3.98 I am a queen. I live in a castle, right across the street from the John Howard Housing Projects. Every day right after school I run to my bedroom window and open it wide--even in the middle of winter when the wind blows wet snow up my nose. I watch for my knight in shining armor. He's ten years old, like me, and rides a bike--a two-wheeler with rusty spokes and torn-up seat. So begins Sharon Flake's highly-anticipated new novel--a moving story of an unlikely friendship. Queen is a royal pain in the neck Her Highness treats everyone like her loyal subjects: her classmates, her teacher, even her parents That's why all the kids hate her and it's hard for her to make friends. To make matters worse, Queen known she is bright. Her teacher thinks she's a spoiled know-it-all, and that keeps her in hot water as well. When a new kid comes to Queen's school riding a broken bike and wearing run-over shoes, he immediately becomes the butt of everyone's jokes. Her parents insist she be nice to Leroy, since history has never been kind to queens who forget how to be humble. But Leroy isn't just smelly, Queen thinks that he tells fibs-whoppers in fact-and when he says he's an African prince from Senegal, sparks fly between him and Queen. There's only room for "one" blue-blooded family on 33rd Street, and Queen is determined to prove Leroy is an impostor. What Queen ultimately discovers about Leroy makes her wonder what "happily ever after" really means. If a broken-bike boy is truly Queen's knight in shining armor, can he save her from herself, by teaching her how to be a good friend? |

FDNY Dream Bike - $34.99 Directed by John Allison, FDNY Dream Bike revolves around the story of Gerard Baptiste, a young New York City firefighter who died tragically during the September 11th, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. Just two weeks before his death, Baptiste bought a used 1979 Honda CB750 for 100 dollars from a street sale in Manhattan's East Village. When his plans of fixing the bike were tragically halted, the survivors of Ladder 9 resolved to restore it in his honor. After 15 months of labor, not only was the bike restored to its former glory, but was dubbed the "FDNY Dream Bike." ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi |

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. |
