  • The difference between a 700c wheel with a 38mm tyre and a 26" with 2.25 is 24.7mm.

    Does that mean a 2.5cm lowering in BB when chucked on a bike?

  • 24.7mm

    That looks like the diameter difference. The change in BB height will be half that.

    Diameter of a 700c wheel with a 38mm tyre: 698.00mm;
    Diameter of a 26" wheel with a 2.25" tyre: 673.30mm.

    So the bb drop is (698.00-673.30)/2 = 12.35mm.
