Re: [RBW] Cliffhanger alternatives?

[Richard Rose]

Hi Scott. Right now thinking 2.6” Maxxis Recons. Possibly Teravail Ehline 2.5” but I read they really are more like 2.25”. I’ve owned true “plus” bikes before & ran 2.8”-3.0” tires on 30-45mm wide rims with success. Not sure I want to go that big. Not a lot to choose from in rim brake rims.

I'm getting some Cliffs built for my new Gus, and I plan on running 2.6 to begin with and like having the option to run 2.8 tires. 2.6 is within Velocity's recommended rim width. I think one could safely go outside of "recommended" tire width and run a 2.8 on a Cliff. It's .1 per side wider. It's not like going from a 1.9 to say a 2.8. I find a decent selection of 2.6 tires out there, 2.8 not so much. Have you got a good 2.8 in mind? Do tell. I'd like to look into it. I wouldn't hesitate to run 2.8 on my Cliffs, whenever they show up on my door step... Also, please share what shakes out in your BB search for your Gus. Best, Scott in about to get very cold Montana On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 08:29:36 AM MST, Richard Rose <rmros...@gmail.com> wrote: 2.5"-2.6" tires seem to be at the very upper limits for the venerable Cliffhanger. Is anyone aware of a 700c  rim brake rim that is a bit wider? I have not found one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
