FAQs
What Tyres Can I Run? |
So many choices! A 25 mm internal rim typically works well within a range of tyre sizes from 1.75" - 2.5" (45 mm - 64 mm). A 30mm internal rim typically works well within a range of tyre sizes from 2.3" - 3" (58 mm to 76 mm). Some narrower tyres on wider rims will square off too much, and some wider tyres on narrower rims will fold and squirm due to lack of sidewall support. This is more common at the extremes (eg a knobby 45 mm on 25 mm internal width). |
Which Rim Width Should I Pick? |
If you're after a light XC-oriented or Gravel+ wheel and don't see yourself running a tyre larger than 2.25", go for the "Wide 35" version (25mm internal). If your riding is a bit more demanding than XC, or if you want to run chunkier rubber (up to 3.0"), then go for the "Wider 40" (30mm internal) version. |
What Tyre Pressure Should I Use? |
We get this question a lot! Follow the guide on your tyre and have fun experimenting +/- a few PSIs for feel. The tyre should feel responsive, provide ample grip and be hard enough to not bottom out the tyre on the rim on rocky terrain. Lighter riders can afford to run slightly lower pressures, whereas heavier riders should err towards recommended pressures. Narrower (low volume) tyres will need to be run at higher pressures than higher volume tyres. That said, we do not recommend exceeding 35psi for any tyre that would be suitable for this rim. |
Why only 28h? | We believe 28h is ideal for most off-road applications. Through a custom build, you can obtain competitive lightweight configurations up to super robust expedition strength wheels. |
