Well, now I'm confused a bit. How much wiggle room do rims have on the max tire size, or does it depend on the rim shape?
Have any wide tires ever popped off any narrow rims? I've been wheel shopping. I want to use mostly 38mm tires. The Open Pro is 15mm wide on the inside and is rated for up to 28mm tires (https://shop.mavic.com/en-us/open-pro-c-j24200.html). Sheldon Brown has a table that puts 19mm wide rims in my sweet spot: www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html#width It's been tricky to find a budget wheelset with both a 19mm or wider rim and a 130mm rear hub. So far the only reasonable option I've found uses a Velocity Dyad (http://harriscyclery.net/product/velocity-700c-dyad-rs400-tiagra-wheel-set-36-spoke-3247.htm). But I have a lot more options if a 40mm tire works well on a 15mm wide rim. So what gives? Also, anyone have any wheels for sale with medium-wide rims and 130mm rear hub?
