How wide is too wide? Found a deal on a set of WTB ST i23 rims, same weight as grails and the likes just 2.7mm wider. Tubeless by the way
More width = more volume = better ride, or is there a limit to this?
I know alot of people use arch ex rims @ 21mm
You sure about that? [url= http://www.notubes.com/Grail-C158.aspx ]Grails are quoted as 460g[/url] and [url= http://www.wtb.com/products/st ]i23s as 583g[/url].
I'm running 25mmm rims with Grifos.
Yes, just realised the same, ebay seller quoting them at 455g, not even the 26" are that light according to WTB. Planet X also quote them at 455g.
Good to hear some wide rim skinny tyre feedback though for reference
I ran CX tyres on DT 470 rims, they're slightly narrower than crest's, but were still a bit weird so I probably wouldn't. Might consider something like 40mm tyres if I was stuck with the rims, but if I was buying rims I'd get something cross specific (or a wide road rim).
I run Pacenti CL25 rims (25mm outer) with 28mm tyres.
CL 25's here as well. 25 mm road tyres at 100psi. Excellent.
