  • 26 inch mountain bike wheels are a different size to 26 imperial sizes. Think that mountain bike is 559mm whilst 26 imperial is 570mm.

    http://sheldonbrown.com/rim-sizing.html should help compare and contrast.

    More than that, it's 590mm. That would mean a 15.5mm difference, can your calipers handle that range?
    You can still get quality rims and tires in that size (Sun CR18/Panaracer Col de la Vie), would look best to keep the same size.
