The “Straight Side” are hookless, and the “Crochet” type are the normal clincher with a bead hook.įirst off, we should mention that it’s not only the brands listed here that are concerned about such things. Rim widths shown are internal measurements in millimeters. Here’s what they had to say…Ī very detailed ETRTO guidelines chart, courtesy of Mavic. We spoke with WTB, Kenda, Schwalbe, Stan’s NoTubes and Industry Nine to see where everyone sits on the matter. Step outside the guidelines and you risk poor performance, component damage, or even a total blowout. If we’ve learned one thing from Mavic’s presentations over the years, it’s that tire and rim sizes really and truly are designed to work in tandem. We wanted to know what the compatibility limitations are for optimum performance and, more importantly, safety. With the explosion of Boost, Plus bikes, Mid Fat and other portly new rim and tire sizes for everything from road to cyclocross to gravel to mountain bikes, it’s a wonder there isn’t more confusion as to what will actually work together.Īnd by “work together”, we don’t just mean whether or not it’ll mount.
