Yes it should. I've been running 700c tires on my modern 29er wheels without a problem. You could also try looking for 1.5 inch 29er tires.

How much does a 700c GMC Denali Road Bike 25 Men's Bike weigh?
Well, 700C is a wheel size, also known as 622 mm or 28". But apart from that I can't figure out what the question is.
What would the size be for a road racing bike?
Another vague question.Most road bikes have a wheel size of 28" / 622 mm / 700C.(these are all different names for the same size) Older bikes can have 27" / 630 mm wheels.If you're asking about what size you should have, do a net search for "bicycle fitting" and you'll find plenty of help.
What does c mean for a bike tire?
C as in 700C is a leftover from an old french sizing system. Doesn't say much today. Sheldonbrown.com has nice writeup about tire sizing. It's better to stick with the ETRTO marking of diameter (in mm) and width (in mm). A 700C tire will be 622 x 23-38 mm. 23 mm width for a road bike, 38 mm for a hybrid.
Where can you get a kids road bike?
That's a tricky one. Road bike standard pretty much calls for 700C (622 mm) wheels, and their size makes it impossible to build an entirely scaled kids road bike. There are 650C sized road bikes, which can be a little better if you have the money But if it was me I'd get a kid-sized rigid MTB instead, slap on some narrow, high-pressure slicks, maybe go for a touring bar and call it a day.
What is road size in bikes?
Another vague question. Most road bikes have a wheel size of 28" / 622 mm / 700C.(these are all different names for the same size) Older bikes can have 27" / 630 mm wheels.
What bicycle is good for someone with 30-31 inch inseams?
There are website that go into a lot of detail on this. However I have a 30 inch inseam and I take a 58 cm road bike or an 18 inch mountain bike. Road bikes are measured in cm, moutnain bikes in inches.
What is the Performance on a mountain bike with 700C wheels compared to a road bike?
The MTB will be heavier, and the more upright riding position will cause more drag. The wheels will be sturdier, it'll be better equipped to take fenders. It'll have a bigger span and bigger steps between the gears. Grinding through a steep climb isn't going to be a problem. Brakes will be better. In extreme circumstances(like powering down a hill) the higher gear ratio of the road bike can make it faster, but then we're talking about+30 MPH. Basically, if you put some smooth tires on a 29" (700C) sized MTB it'll be able to keep up with a road bike quite well, until either the road bikes improved aerodynamics or lower weight gives it an advantage.
How is a punctured bicycle tire mended?
If you have a mountain bike, you can often remove the tube, patch it with a patch kit (auto parts stores and bike shops have them) and put it back in. Those patches don't hold up very well on a road bike with 700C wheels because the air pressure is so high, so you need to replace the tube on those.
Can a 26 inch bike frame use a 27 inch tire?
MAYBE - , frame size has nothing to do with tire size. Style does, and if its a mountain bike, it will not work with a 27 (road racing) wheel and tire. Brakes will not fit.
Will a 700c wheel fit for my 48cm road bike the bike is old and the wheel right now is 27 inch so can anybody help please?
48 cm probably refers to the frame size, and it indicates a fairly small bike. 700C is ISO /ETRTO 622 Bead Seat Diameter, while 27" is 630 mm BSD. Obviously then a 700C wheel will be smaller. This is good for frame/fork fit, but may be bad for brake performance. Check if your brake pads can be dropped with 4 mm (1/4") before doing anything else. If the brake pads can be dropped you're OK. If the brake pads can't be dropped and you're using regular brakes you'll be OK if you switch to long-reach brakes. If the brake pads can't be dropped and you're already using long-reach brakes you're out of luck. Do note that 27" wheels are still readily available.
Why not ride a mountain bike on the road?
A road bike is faster on the road than a mountain bike. That's all
Are 700c hybrid wheels the same as 700c road wheels?
Sort of, but not really. Although they have the same Bead Seat Diameter of 622 mm, there usually are some differences. Road bikes are generally built for 130 mm rear hub width, while a hybrid might share the 135 mm MTB standard. Road bikes are usually intended for narrower tires than a hybrid, so the rim is probably a bit narrover too. Hybrids can come with disc brakes, which is something you won't find on a "real" road bike. A new road bike can run 10 or even 11 speeds on the back, while hybrids don't go higher than 9 yet. In short: don't expect one to be a perfect fit for the other, but there is some interchangeability.
