5304 on a 700C

[QwertyAccess]

I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on a 5304 on a 700C wheel? I was considering 407 but I'm curious about the kind of performance you'd get with a 700C 5304. I've been looking into tons of different e-bike ideas and still undecided. Previously i was considering 5304 26" MTB but >.< so many choices...

As long as you're going for a Down hill 29" rim, then sure. (29" rims are 700c size, but stronger)

It really depends on what you're planning to do with the bike, though.
WHat are your plans? what do you want the bike to be able to do?

I'd like to try to see if i can get atleast a 30 mile range (more the better of course), there are some hills, a few steep ones which would be nice if i can attempt to conquer (with some pedalling perhaps) I weigh in at around 230 (big guy working on losing weight though) planning to use ping lifepo4 batteries 48V 20AH (or waiting for ping's new generation and i want to put two 24V 20AH's in a series and be able to upgrade to 72V as i go on. I see myself wanting to cruise at around 20-22mph with some extra speed now and then depending on how the batteries work out for me. The 700C 5304 hub comes from electric rider so i don't know if its downhill type.

I rode fast and hard for years on 700c rims, and know how to straigten rims real good now. Nowdays I still have a nice vintage roadbike, but for beating to death at 25 mph day in and day out on the ebike, I'll take the MTB rims. A 29er would be sweet! I think you could run a 400 series on the skinny tire ok, but a 5304 might just burn the rubber off kinda quick. One day I was looking at my tires thinking, maybe I should try some slicks for better range, and then realized, they will be slicks by fall.
