Mike, I misstated, velocity doesn't say "optimal" anything on the A23. I extrapolated that from their specs. Meaning 35mm was their recommended max tire width. They use the term"optimal" with the cliffhanger's specs. Sorry for the confusion.
Specs RIMS (CLICK FOR COLOR OPTIONS): A23 650c <http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/a23-571> : 23mm - 35mm tires A23 700c <http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/a23-622> : 23mm - 35mm tires A23 OC 700c <http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/a23-oc-622> : 23mm - 35mm tires I think that's just what they feel comfortable listing perhaps based on their testing? I ran 42mm on a similar velocity rim. Report back how your 47's do on these rims?
