Actually, the bike has Bontrager Rangers on it, which are the same (construction, not diameter) wheels as my 26" MTB, and also the same as the low end 29'er's that Gary Fisher sells, so they're MTB rims. It's more a question of whether the diameters are actually the same. Rim widths between the 26" and the ones I have on the Kaitai are also the same, and the 26" has 2.1's on it, so assumption on the width is they'll fit,, I have been known to be wrong tho
Thanks for the response!
