nterestingly, the outer diameter of the tire for both 507mm and 571mm are very close. I converted a 24" mtb frame into a road bike for my daughter by switching it to 650c wheels and fork and drilling the frame bridge for a road brake on the rear tire.
571 also was used on some roadsters and utility/cargo bikes, but with balloon tires: 54-571 or 26 x 1 3/4 x 2.
