  Thanks a lot for your help! So essentially its just a case of more rim, less tyre, with a couple fractions of an inch extra? Sounds like it should be fine.

  Unfortunately I don't have a 700c wheel about where I am or I would, of course, have tried it!

  I know there are a few threads around this topic, but I couldn't find a conclusive answer.

  I'm refurbishing an old racer that currently has 26" wheels. I intend to fit a pair of 700 x 23, but i'm not sure I'll have enough clearance at the fork.

  It depends on tyres, I'm sure, but can anyone tell me roughly how much wider a 700c wheel is than a 26"? I have around an inch clearance at the fork, at present. Will 700's fit?

  Thanks.

  I guess he has a point. But London roads would also be considerably safer if they sent drivers out on a bike for an hour or so.

  In fact, the other day I say someone riding with NO HANDLEBARS. He was holding his stem in a fist like a freakin joystick at an arcade and steering through traffic.

  Might give that a go on my way home.
