I recently ran Schwalbe Big Ones which measured 58mm on 18.4mm internal width rims. Dyads are 18.6 internal width, so very similar. FWIW, internal width is a better indicator of rim width when considering tire sizes as that's the measurement where the tire exits the rim bead. I felt that while I could run tires that wide, I wanted wider rims, only because I was running lower pressures and the tire felt a little uneasy on sharp turns. I'll likely get another set of Big Ones in the future, but will build up a new wheelset on wider rims to go with them. I'm running 2.1" Schwalbe Smart Sams right now and feel that size is a better fit for my current rims. I'd say the 2.0 and 2.15 Big Apples would be fine, the 2.35s might be pushing it. David Chicago
