Back in the day both Trek and Sun (at least those 2) made 13 mm internal/19 external mountain bike rims. I used both with 2" tires for thousands of miles with no problem except having to keep pressure higher than (I would now consider) optimum. Wider rims work better for wider tires, but skinny ri

Jan Heine specifically says narrow rims are fine with his tires. So I'd imagine most reasonably supple tires would work fine. Like Patrick I rode mountain bike tires on old narrow rims for years. I have no specific recommendations your width will be a little less on the narrow rims than on the

I'm running Nano 2.1 tires on Synergy rims (64 Atlantis) with no issues. It really depends on the tread profile. If creating a rounder tire profile (fat tire on smallish rim) will cause the particular tread transition (from tire center to side) to be more abrupt, you may not like that. If the

Hi Ian, Yes, it's the most "bicycle like" of all the systems I've messed with, and I've messed with a bunch. The motor, controller and battery are all in the hub so there's no hassle with finding places to mount things, and no wires ziptied to the frame. You power on with a switch on the wheel
