Sounds like you're convinced already, but just to add one more data point: I'm runnning 40mm tires (wtb nano's) on the 700c cliffhangers currently and it works great. As others have said, the wide rim spreads out the tires profile, maximizes its volume, and makes it ride and handle really nice,

About the only time a rim is too wide is if the rim is wider than the tire ! I recall back in the day riding on Specialized 1.5" tires on Araya 7x rims which are 32.2mm . Wider rims give better tire profiles than narrow ones. In pro road racing for example, they run rims that are near the same

I think SBH will be closer to 48-50mm range depending on pressure for cliff hangers. they are 47.5mm on pacenti brevets with 19mm internal width i believe. so the cliff hangers should be fine with SBH On Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at 3:48:40 AM UTC-4, drew wrote: > > Ok leaning toward cliffhangers.

Yes, Velocity Cliffhanger is tubeless ready and I love them. Also a little wider rim to take advantage of "cush." I just happened to have converted to tubeless this weekend with Rat Trap Pass. Here's a photo of those rims:

The Atlas is more like a stouter Synergy, the rims look almost identical. I have a mixed Synergy/Atlas wheelset (F/R). After I cracked the rear Synergy, Velocity rebuilt the wheel with an Atlas. I removed the labels on both and you really can't tell the difference. No issues since the rebuild.

I am really happy with 36h 650b Cliffhangers they are stout, built up easy, nice and wide and were amazingly easy to setup some thunder burts up tubeless for my Bombadil. On Monday, July 10, 2017 at 5:21:02 AM UTC-7, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: > > Yeah, I think the cliffhanger is the way to go for any

Yeah, I think the cliffhanger is the way to go for anyone wanting strong, wide, rim brake compatible rims. I think the atlas are just stouter dyads, which I've found to be too narrow for 50+mm tires. On Sunday, July 9, 2017 at 9:52:39 PM UTC-5, Kai Vierstra wrote: > > http://www.velocityusa
