Bike Tire Guide - 700c x Hybrid / Cross - BikemanforU Tutorial

- / bikemanforu Hybrid bike tires demystified. BikemanforU shows us tire widths and treads raning from 700 x 28 to 700 x 38 that will fit a standard 700c hybrid or cross wheel. Even a 700 x 40 (aka 29er) will fit the same wheel. The difference is width. For example a 700 x 28 tire is narrower than a 700 x 38. If you want to go faster, select a narrow tire with a smooth or semi-slick tread. UA-cam's how-to guru of bicycle repair adds a cautionary note: A 700c road bike tire will be too narrow for your hybrid rim. A 700 x 25 tire will have a difficult time staying seated, as well 700 x 23 and 700 x 18.

Every time I get stuck with a question I find out Bikeman has already answered my question.
Thanks for taking your time to share your knowledge Bikeman.
Thank you SO MUCH for explaining this. I was unsure and could not locate clear and concise information regarding this anywhere online. This video answered all my questions re: 700c tires. Again, thanks a bunch for posting!
I looked all over for this information. Never forget the bikeman!
Great video Mister Bike Man! I've been riding bikes for what seems like forever but Hybrids are new to me in terms of tire dimension. I'm picking up a Specialized Crosstrail Comp Disc next month and found this video very helpful! Much appreciated... By the way love your Eco friendly Shirt! "One Less Car", the saying holds so true:)

Man, I thought this video was gonna suck...but Bikeman answered all my hybrid tire questions better than those other yoo toob fools! THNX Bman.
Can i put a 700x32c tire in place of my 700x38c front tire. Im trying to buy a ebike conversionkit, and the kit is compatible with 700x28c or 700x32c
I have a question, will a 700x35-43c tube fit inside a 700x28c tire and if I make it fit will it cause problems?
Without switching out rims can I switch out 700x23 for a 700x35 on my road bike?
sorry i only had mountain bikes before, i just bought today an hybrid bike and it has 700x32, i want to know how much can i force this tire or its only for city use and i need to put it a thicker tire to go outside? answers would be really appreciated
i have a road bike 22.5 bike frame 700c that use 700x32 tire can i buy Hybrid 700c Alloy Wheel Set Double Wall that use 700x35c? and put on my road bike?
So If I have a 29er MTB with 29x2.1 tyres, will a 700 x 35c tube/tyre be okay as well?
this was before i was born! i was born in 2010 and tysm for explaining this.
Bikeman i jave a 700c World Sport Schwinn and I want to know what is a good for a rain
I have a 700x23c tire in my bike. I was wondering if a 700x25c or 28c will still fit?
Great information, because of this video, I am swapping out the tires on my hybrid to a 700x35C tire size. I have skinnier tires on right now (700x28) and they don't do well on crushed lime bike paths...especially when wet. So I am replacing the "road slicks" with a pair of Kenda Happy Mediums that are wider and more surer footed on loose gravel and in mud-ish conditions. Thanks Bikeman:-)!
Let us know how you make out
You can even go more drastic. I went from 700x28, to 700x35, to finally 700x38. When I was still finding that to not be enough cushion given poor road conditions and wanting to go on semi-offroad/offroad/gravel road/fire road stuff, I traded out the 700c frame for a 26" Surly. Now I run 26x2.0 and I can go pretty much anywhere and I'm not any slower than I was riding 700x38.
Not so well, I ended up replacing them after one season, the rear tire was bald in no time with a pair of Bontrager tires from the LBS. I plan on replacing those with a pair of Clement USH's later on. But I might be replacing the bike with a Surly LHT, I need a couple more gears and a heavier frame/wheelset.
Hello bikeman, i want to know if a 29 x 2.1 would make a difference in matter of speed from the 700×35C, thanks.
I've got a 700c x 23 tire on my road bike and can't fit anything much bigger because the breaks get in the way. Sucks.....
Thanks for the information. I have been riding on the Kenda Rain V-Cut 700 x 38c tires (the ones you showed) for over twelve years. Great tires, but after twelve years it's time think about new ones. The only ones available right now in black-wall, which is what I want, are the 35c version. I wasn't sure they'd fit. I already have some almost new Kenda 700 x 35c of another type that I could use, but I want Rain V-Cuts. Great tires.
it will fit perfectly, you could fit 28c to 38c without any problem, it will just adapt to the rim you put it on nice and tight.
I weigh 100 kilos (220 pounds) and I ride at least 30kms to about 40kms every single day of the year. I had at least 2 punctures a month on my rear tire here in Mexico where there is lots of broken glass, broken concrete roads and missing paving stones.
So last year I went from Kenda Kwick 700x32C (50-85 psi) to Specialized Infinity Sport Black-Belt puncture resistant 700x35C (75-100 psi. The more expensive Specialized had even more punctures. This year I changed to Kendra Kwest 700x38C (50-85 psi) and have had only 2 punctures and the ride is much smoother. I've been filling them all to around 75-80 psi. Thinking of changing to a 700x40 or 700x42 for the extra width and softer ride. Filling to lower psi gives me less punctures but more rim pinch flats so maybe a wider tire will help.
my 700x28c never used to need pumping everytime i ride but everytime i ride it now, i get a puncture and have to pump it up
My question, which one is best for hopping curbs and handling drops. It's like the million dollar question and I can't find the answer anywhere.
thanks for the video it really helps choosing the right width! i was wondering if i can buy a set of these rims and they will fit in a cyclocross frame, some people say i have to move the rear axle to 130mm? instead of the 120mm
Hello I'm having a hard time finding tires and tube for my 28er CX bike does someone knows if 700 could do ???
I like this guy.
We like you too WELCOME to our channel
Tim Vine same
+BikemanforU hy sir! ! i want to make plan ride long offroad by hybird cycle. so may i need to take extra tyre too??
I recently bought a hybrid bike with 700x40c tyres but they are too feckin chunky for my liking . I might just go the lowest you recommended in the 28c but why the need to pump up every time ?
can I use a 27" tube for a 700c hybrid bike
Hello Bikeman! awesome video!, maybe its a stupid question but I'll aske any way, I have a hybrid bike and I have 700c x 32c tyres can I change them from a 28" 3/8-5/8 tyres?
hi bikeman i would like to upgrade my hybrid bike with new wheels can i put 700c x 35 on lightweight rims or is there a special size rim i am asking you because i like your channel and my local bike shops only speak french thanks.
Do the thin tires lose are quick with a single bike ride?
it will fit on the rim.... Will it pass in the frame of the bike, that is the question.
I have a road bike with a 27" rim. Will a hybrid tire like those mentioned in the video fit?
Bikeman , i'm a mechanic by trade ,i'm replacing my inner tube ,i ordered two tube they send me 2 presta valves 700x25/32c but my old tube Schrader valve , should i send back or install them
Love all you videos man! A couple quick questions... if I go from a 700 x 38 down to 700 x 32 must I change the tube? And if I keep my rear at 700x 32 and the front at 700 x 38 is there a danger there? Thanks as always.
I would also like to know your thoughts on this question
Did you get an answer? I'd like to know too
Hi BikermanforU
I need a new tube for my 700c Hyper spinfit hybrid bike, but I got a little bit confused. The tire side shows this number 700x35C 37-622 (28x13/8x15/8), but I dont know what tube size do I need to buy?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
My recommendation would be to find a tube that says like 32-40c, you can get them at Walmart. The tube is marketed under the Bell name, the new boxes these come in now say "Hybrid Only" surrounded by a blue square. These usually have a schrader valve. My neighbor has that bike, it's a very nice bike for the $....a good commuter or recreational bike. But, any tube of this type will work, you can also order them all over the place, Amazon, Ebay, Walmart online, probably target as well.

... /... ,,, tell me about it ... I've got exactly the very same shit ,,, and l do not know what is ". They say "inches" ; is not in the European diccionary .
Can I convert 700c to 27.5 (1.5 +) wheel set?
I'm want to assemble a hybrid road bike to semi XC bike using 700c frame.
please advice me thanks!
Wish someone made a video making a 700c bike into a 26” wheeler
So what about a 700c x 25 will that be ok on those rims
Hi will a 700 X 38C fit on a 700c X 25C
MY FUKIN GOD.. This vid was uploaded in 2009 and now it's 2019.. I feel like a time-traveller
hi bikeman, i have just a question.. The size 700x38c is the same that 700c x38...???
Hi Bro! just Subscribed! from Singapore. so any tire will accomodate by this 700c wheel is it? Coz i have 700c wheel, does the 37c tire can fit to the 700c wheel? because a friend of mine said it cannot fit. Thanks for your answer. Keep it up!
I have a Merida Crossway and my rims are 622x18. At the moment I have 700x40c tyre. My question is , can I put 32-622 or 28-622 tyre on this rims? What is the minimum tyre can I put on this rims.
I ride it just on road and long distance.
Thank you.
Hello, i found your post on YT when you were asking about narrowest tyre which fits the Merida Crossway 622x18 rims. I have the same bike and rims and I also wonder if 25c would fit?
Regards, Matjaz
How wide of a rim do you need for 700cx38 tires
The one tire you said was 50 psi recommended. I think it said 50-75 on the tire for sure.
bike man, i need help. i got a schwinn tourist and need new tires. its measurements are(28x1n5/8x1n1/8) , (28-622) , 700x28c. do you know a good tire place online? or do you know a tire that could fit it? i cant seem to find the exact size, tubes either. will any 700cc do? any other ideas would be much appriciated. it's been upside down for too long.
What is the biggest I can put on this? could 700x50 work?
Hey Bike Man!
I've got a Cannondale Adventure 2 and I need to replace the wheels/tires as it was previously owned by a rental company (Got the bike gifted to me). The bike comes with a 700x38c combo. My question is: Can I put a 40c trie on this bike without issue?
+FullSpeedAheadFilms yes it will work
This video is many years old AND EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT ROLLING RESISTANCE IS WRONG. Please google about why some wider tires have less rolling resistance.
Yes and no. here's why. usually a tire of a wider width will be run at a lower pressure, this causes them to have more rolling resistance. If you were to run a 32c and a 25c both at 100 psi (which , no one runs a 32 at 100), the 32c would indeed have less rolling resistance. Also consider though the difference in the weight of a tire and how much more energy it takes to get the tire rolling from a dead stop. I've always considered a wider tire to be a good one to run at a lower pressure and a better choice for rough street and smooth trail use, while a narrower tire is good for using the necessary higher pressure required to make the bike ride sporty and agile and aerodynamic. So....basically if you air up a wider tire at the same pressure, which defeats the purpose, it will have less rolling resistance, but will then ride no better than a narrow one.
We can use the same tube right ?
i have a 700x38c rim and want to buy 700x28c thick slicks. do i have to swap the inner tube too?
Yes the 38c is to fat
i have mtb bike with a 26x2.1 tires if i will convert the tire to road tire with 26x1.25 is this compatible with the old rim? How do i know what tire can fit in my old rim?
The tire should fit. Be careful when you inflate and make sure the tire is seating right check out this vid to help

What size rim was it a 29er
Quiet you can whisper and the noise level will not interfered in you sleeping or conversation.

I'm starting to see tires in my sleep This new stuff is all foreign to me I'll get it absorbed in my brain soon
700c x 28 , Why do you need to pump the tyre up on every ride, is valve on the tube faulty?
Haha yeah i guess, or it might be a matter of weight, i'm "low weight" and i ride slicks 700x23c and i don't lose any air... But a friend of mine more "high weight" was flat everyday on his fixie...
useful shit, i had no idea you had to pump superthin tires every time
you never say the width of the rims the tires are installed on.
Hi Bikeman,
My current tire is 28 inch x 1 5/8 inch. Can I replace it with a 700 x 38?
Kim Liong WOO
I just looked at the late great Sheldon Brown's website, 28" is the same diameter as 700 c. ie 622mm
1 5/8 indicates the width of your tire and for that with an older rim to best bet is to carry the rim to your local bike shop and see what works. My guess would be yes, but having a tire come off mid corner can be very dangerous to say the least.
btw 700c rims are the same diameter as 29er rims, width is the important distinction. 38mm is narrower than 1 5/8th so they may not seat correctly.
We need a video with deep v wheels :c

i bet you’re fun at parties
Biff the bikeman🤣
this video answered my question...I'll take your word for it ;)
This guy is nice. But still don't know about bile tires
That's nothing new back then in that size 700 x 35c we used to back then in the early 80s we had tires like that on road racing bikes and we converted road racing bikes into what was backed into sport called cyclocross meaning that you ride the bike you get off the bike you hop over logs branches and boulders and what have you not and you had to slosh through mud through branches through poison oak and what have you it was a great way to stay in shape during the winter months when you couldn't ride your regular racing road bike or what have you and back then the tires had knobby tread pattern on them very similar to a mountain bike but the idea what that bike was we had fun racing anywhere from depending on the course anywhere from 10 laps up to 20 laps yes this race is not for the timid because you are going to get wet and you will be bleeding a little from the cuts and the scrapes of having to go through the forest.
