I have that old Gary Fisher Wahoo. I'm getting it back from the friend I loaned it to because I definitely want to put some road tires on it & use it for road biking with the family. Assuming my fork & stays have enough clearance, would a 700cc wheel have any adverse affects on handling/geometry? I realize it would raise the height of the top tube & I would have to switch to disc front & rear, & those are concerns for sure, but is there anything else I'm not thinking of?

I probably won't be able to find any wheelsets or breaks cheap enough to justify the change either way, but it's still fun food for thought & gives me new biking stuff to keep an eye out for
Would a 650 set work? another member has these posted.
