Can I use 32 holes hub on 36 holes rim?

The hole counts must match. You need to order a 32-hole rim or a 36-hole hub. I recommend the latter. 36-spoke wheels are noticeably stronger than 32-hole ones.

Is a bigger bike wheel better?

On smooth surfaces, small wheels have less aerodynamic drag due to a smaller frontal area. Smaller wheels can also be built lighter (therefore easier to propel uphill). However, larger wheels theoretically provide slightly better rolling resistance (the effect of this is incredibly small).

Does bike rim size matter?

The smaller the wheel, the more it will be affected by even small debris and rocks, and potholes can swallow a 16″ wheel whole. The handling and feeling of riding a bike with 16″ wheels will be considerably different than the full-size adult bike you’re used to.

How can you tell how many holes a hub has?

Hole Count – Your hubs and rims should match each other’s hole count….Here’s how to measure these distances:

1. Figure out the distance between the lock nuts (where the hub sits in the dropouts) – 100 or 110 mm is typical for the front.
2. Take that number and divide by 2.
3. Then measure from the flange to the lock nut.

Are bikes with bigger wheels faster?

Summarizing the two studies, the rumble strip tests showed that on smooth and rough roads, larger wheels don’t roll significantly faster. The Swiss study suggests that, for mountain bikes, larger wheels may be what makes 29ers faster than smaller-wheeled mountain bikes.

What difference does wheel size make on a bike?

The size of your wheel determines the level of rolling resistance you will get on the trails. Having a bigger wheel base allows you to overcome bigger obstacles.

Are 700c wheels smaller than 27?

700c/28″ wheels are actually smaller in diameter than 27″ which has a 630mm bead diameter. These tires are NOT interchangable.

Are 700c wheels the same as 27?

27-inch and 700C tires are close enough in size that the inner tubes are compatible; i.e. you can use a 27-inch inner tube in a 700C tire, and vice-versa. However, you can NOT use a 27-inch tire on a 700C wheel, and vice-versa.

Why do some bike rims have holes?

They are drain holes. Water collects in the rim over time, and those holes are there to let the water escape.
