650C rim diameter = 571 mm
26-inch MTB rim diameter = 559 mm
Note that a 32 mm 26-inch road tire (such as a Specialized FatBoy) will have almost exactly the overall diameter as a 23 mm 650C tire.

in either case you ought to make sure you keep an extra tube and maybe even a foldy tire handy. in the case of 650b this is super especially true cuz you ain't gonna find that **** in an emergency while walmart or your local hardware store ought to be able to help you with 26.
