Not entirely related, but I was running 50mm tires on a set of Velocity NoBS rims and kept getting weird flats where the tube looked like it had been slashed 3-4". No punctures and not your typical snakebite pinch flat pattern. I couldn't figure it out but Velocity said the tires were too wide for that rim. (Max they recommend is 45mm which is like a fifth of an inch smaller.) I switched to 45's and no problems. I dunno.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Never figured it out but there was something going on with running too big tires on those rims.
