   26-inch clincher tires (with inner tubes) were the most common wheel size for new mountain bikes until the early 2010s. [31] This tradition was started initially because the early mountain bike pioneers procured the wheels for their early bikes from American-made bicycles rather than the larger European standards in use.

   Bikes exist that blur the distinction by combining attributes of both, however.

   Small wheels may be welcome in indoor locations where large wheels are not. Small-wheel bicycles are adult bicycles that have wheels of 510 mm (20 in) nominal diameter or less, which is smaller than the 700c (522 mm), 660, 700, 740 mm (26, 27.5, 29 in) sizes common on most full-sized adult bikes.

   The 26-inch wheel size initially used in mountain biking has all but died off at the top level of cross-country racing, with 29″ wheels becoming the norm and 650b wheels being used occasionally. 650b wheels are 584 mm diameter wheels, and approximately 27.5″ with a mounted tire, hence their more common name, "27.5 inch wheels."

   Another advantage of both wheels being the same size is that the bike requires only one size of inner tube. One common arrangement is an ISO 559 (26-inch) rear wheel and an ISO 406 or ISO 451 (20-inch) front wheel.
