Christian, Did you damage a rim or are you switching to a dyno hub?
To me there seems to be not much difference between Atlas and Cliffhangers. Both are fairly hefty with the Cliffhangers being wider (25mm vs 20mm internal). For a Platy, the difference in rim width isn't going to make a big impact as all tires that will fit on a Platy will be fine on an Atlas. My Platy has Cliffhangers and I sometimes think they are a bit overkill for the 50mm tires I am using but the ~55g weight difference of the Atlas rims isn't worth the switch. If I was using 42mm or smaller tires I'd definitely want a narrower rim (Atlas, Quill, Dyad, etc.). Looking forward to seeing your made over Platypus. -Dave On Monday, November 20, 2023 at 2:37:14 PM UTC-5 Justin Kennedy wrote: > Also, not sure how I missed this, but Roman's 60cm Platypus on the Riv > Staff Bikes pages is sporting 2.25 Thunder Burts.
