I have a 700C dynohub wheel already. This can also be swapped with the 700C dynohub wheel on my audax bike.If I got a 26" MTB sized wheeled bike it would have to have it's own dynahub wheel that would be unable to engage in a "what's working" exchange with the audax bikeA narrow-tyred 700c wheel is interchangeable with a 26" wheel, if you're using disk brakes. The outside diameter is nearly identical - only the braking surface of the rim (not used) is in a different position:700c wheel with 25mm tyre: 622 + (2*25) = 672mm Dia.26" wheel with 2.1" tyre: 559 + (2*2.1*25.4) = 666mm Dia.A 700c wheel with a narrow tyre will be the same diameter as a MTB wheel fitted with a big chunky 2 inch XC tyre, with slicks the difference is noticable though.MTB with a 700c wheel in will work, not the other way around.
