I've run both Schwalbe G-One 650b x 30 and Switchback Hill 650b x 48 tyres
on DT Swiss XM401 27.5 rims, which have a 22.5mm internal width and
according to DT Swiss are suitable for tyres up to 2.5" wide. To me, the
handling has seemed fine with both sizes of tyre. I use the narrower tyres

The velocity nobs rim is really good. Not pretty but sturdy, functional
wide and NO BS.

All, much appreciate your comments. I learned a bunch of interesting
details! Thank you.
I'm considering Dyad. But I've also been told that the A23 OC makes for a
stronger rim. I have to call Rich sometime.
The Quill rim has a staggeringly wider range (25mm - 47mm), but that's way
more mo
The best explanation I've seen on this is from Sheldon Brown.

"If your tire is too narrow for the rim, there's an increased risk of
tire/rim damage from road hazards.
If its too wide for the rim, there's an increase risk of sidewall wear from

A wider-than-recomended tire is unlikely to blow off an undamaged rim due
directly to the weight of the bike. That's not really how clinchers work.
An important part of the upper limit on width from Velocity's perspective
is that very wide tires run at high pressures can lead to rim failure,

I ride 42's (Compass) on A23's but 650B, Jan Heine states width isn't an
issue for his tires. I ride Antelope Hills and Schwalbe G-One 50's with
Dyads on my Atlantis but I purchased some Cliffhangers for the Atlantis so
I can run other wide tires tubeless. I see no issues with the A 23's for a
This is a major problem with 2" Maxxis Torch tires on my Dyad rims. They
are fine for normal, mostly straight, riding but the tires have a square
profile, like a mountain bike, and in sharp turns, they are all kinds of
squirrely. If the weather wasn't so bad, I would have already retired them
Anybody have experience with narrower tires on wide rims? I’ve got Velocity
Cliffhangers which are optimally rated between 45-65mm, but I’d like to try
running tires between 38-43mm on them.

I have Snoqualmie Pass 44mm on A23s on my Sam. No problems for 2-3 years.
All on pavement except some rough brick roads on the Cross Florida Ride -
perfect tires for brick roads.

Yeah, if you think about the physics of it, you can relate to holding a balloon
only by the knot at the bottom and pushing it from side to side with the other
handcompared to holding it with your whole hand over a much wider surface
area.
Smaller cross section of the holding area allows mo
I also have Dyads and my experience is that I much prefer the handling of
the bike with 40'ish mm tires over 50-60mm tires. I don't know how much of
that is tire width, tire shape or quality of tire and how much of that is
tire/rim width mismatch. I just know that with 40mm tires, the handling
Early MTBs used cut-down MA2 rims (13.5mm internal width) and ran 2" wide
tyres on them without problems. My touring bike has been running 38mm wide
tyres on MA2 rims for years - never had any problems with that - and at the
other end of the scale, I have some DT Swiss XM401 rims (22.5mm interna
