I have got 26" wheels with Marathon plus tyres on them which came off my old bike. My new bike has 700 wheels so the tyres are no good for me now.

I am going to put the tyres on by BF BSO as having used it one day to get to work, whilst waiting for my new bike, I can see why he hates using it as the nobbly tyres that are on it drove me mad. The front wheel on his bike does not have quick release on it so I was wondering if there was anything to stop me just putting the whole wheel from my old bike onto his??

If this is going to involve changing any set up etc then I am not going to bother and just change the tyres, but if it could be a quick fix to get QR on his bike then I will give it a go.

Don't fully understand your question but if the wheel is the same diameter and the brakes touch the rims in the right place there's no reason why you shouldn't swop a nutted wheel for a QR wheel.
