So, im just getting into biking and im already addicted. ive only been riding a couple months but ive already put probably 120 miles on my '05 GF zebrano S (mostly on local semi-rugged N Florida trails, with the occasional jumps). Everything on it is factory and i know that im ready for new tires and wheels (currently 700c----which i think is like 27.5" or something haha), so i figured i go ahead and buy wheels that i can eventually mount disc brakes too. the problem is i can only afford the wheels/tires at the moment so im trying to figure out if my rim brakes will still fit with 26" wheels, which seem to be the consensus on available/affordable wheel size. The link to the specs is here http://www.fisherbikes.com/bike/archivemodel/169
I bought the bike from a friend who has only put about 40 miles on it in 6 years. Also, any suggestions for a new rider would be most appreciated!

It is a hybrid/town/comfort bike designed for casual use on smoother paved or packed dirt/gravel paths. Narrower tires. Lower end components not meant for rough conditions.
