The ISO (int'l standards org) has crystal clear recommendations for inner
rim width and tire width, but they're not regulations. A couple of years
ago I posted them in some form somewhere--and we had an internal talk about
them--and all of us here and tons of you there have had the brake-opening
Thanks guys! As always, great info. I think I'll just run them on my Open
Pros for now. And when I have a bit of spare change, I'll upgrade to a 23mm
rim so they can run a bit truer to size.

No one has mentioned this yet, but for some types of brakes, having a big
difference between the rim width and tire width will cause problems with
wheel removal, simply because the brakes can't open wide enough for the
tires to pass through, even with the QR actuated. For example, on my
Wilbury
It may be the same BQ article where Jan stated that rim width is not
critical when riding supple tires.

Yup. Thanks for point that out Steve. Sheldon's site is still the standard

Paul,
Any Cyclocross racer that raced as Scott said "back in Sheldon's day" ran
tires marked as 35mm but measured 32mm on Open Pro rims. That was a
standard CX racing setup. I still run the same setup on my classic steel CX
bike.
I did try running Pasela 35s on Open Pros and they were OK as lon

Thanks for the clarification y'all. Seems like, as is the case with most
bike things, a few mm doesn't make much difference.

Back in his day, 35's were huge tires.

You are better off with rims that "match" the tires; Sheldon Brown had
ideas about this and a chart for them. But it's not *necessary.*
With wider rims you'll get slightly wider tires and less sidewall flop at
lower pressures; you'll also find that your sidewalls don't flex as much
for comfort at
Well, now I'm confused a bit.
How much wiggle room do rims have on the max tire size, or does it depend
on the rim shape?
Have any wide tires ever popped off any narrow rims?
I've been wheel shopping. I want to use mostly 38mm tires. The Open Pro is
15mm wide on the inside and is rated for up
You are good to upsize on those rims, look at a mountainbike someday.
Tires can easily triple the rim width.
As for tire, I actually recommend these from Pmart
