Velo how did they work on 40mm rims. I don't have enough room in the back to go higher than 40 unless I spread it out more. Up front I can do anything I want, but I want it to at least be somewhat balenced. 40r 65f is a reality. I would like 65 r and 80-100 f but I got to do some work.
I liked them. Used a 40mm at both ends and it worked ok. Probably be better on a slightly wider rim.
I'm still using it with a 40mm front but I've now got a 80 on the rear. Haven't got round to building the front 80 because I was waiting for a new fork.
Ok fair enough. I knew they would work on 30mm but that was not optimal at all.
I figure 40 is minimum I would want to use. I am not doing much on this bike except some tow path and city work so float is not an issue, but who dosent want big fat rims
I measured 99mm with wire bead, 120tpi, Black Floyd's on Rolling Darryl's (80mm). They are aired up at 14psi.
Ran them for about 20 paved and 35 gravel miles this weekend. With about two miles of sandy two-track thrown in. No tractions issues. They are game changers.
