Fantastic review! I am in scratching my head since yesterday when I encountered my 2nd time blown out tire in the same spot of the local trail in my place. I am running 17mm internal width rim with 2.25 tire and now thinking of replacing to 30mm internal width in order to give way to 2.4 tire size hoping that it would solve the issue.

17mm and 2,25" not a good combination, I just went from 19mm (or maybe 21 not sure but it was narrow) on 2,2" to 30mm and it has so much better damping of vibrations and grip that it is more like riding a fat bike lol :) Now the same tires as before is so wide that I am not sure if I can fit anything wider on the bike... I can run a lot lower tire pressure but even with really hard tires it had better damping of vibration then with my old rims with so little air that you had huge chance of pinch flat.

Less surface contact with the ground=faster roll through/pedal. This isn't true. It's basically common knowledge at this point that a wider/larger tire is faster up to a point. This is true of road tires as well. It's why everyone is running 25's now as a baseline instead of 23's, and usually you don't want to max the pressure on road tires either as it's actually faster if the tire conforms to the uneven road surface, and you have more grip. Similarly, I'd like to see an XC racer who's running 2.0's or 2.1's at this point. They might be lighter and have a smaller contact patch, but they aren't going to roll as fast. I'd send you to Bike Radar's channel to get a reasonably solid test of this, in their video here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/x32smWZvr2peqX4

Zach Wagner that being said, the video that you shared is by no means scientific, or proof of anything, as they stated multiple times. This video displays the fact that in most circumstances grip is going to be a huge factor as we don’t normally race super smooth dirt tracks. They by no means state that wider is actually faster based solely off of surface contact, but that there is a sweet spot between traction and speed where a wider tire is better suited. I believe that wider also gives you a bit more confidence which in the end equals speed. Fun to watch and learn a bit more though! Thanks again!

@@MTBTravelReview Absolutely, never said it was. But I think if you do some due diligence around the web, you'll find that it's pretty well a solid conclusion. There are many tests to be found that espouse similar results. I mean if wider tires are faster in a roll-down test on a fire road, and then faster on a fire road climb, then assuming you also get more grip from them on a more technical singletrack trail, I think it's a pretty obvious conclusion. Obviously tire tread/composition/weight and all that plays a part as well. I've also found, just subjectively, that wider tires are faster. Depending on the terrain you ride you can also get away with a lighter, less aggressive tread on a wider tire, and then you get the bonuses of the bigger tire's roll without the weight penalty, and you still have plenty of grip. There's a reason even DH racers have started gravitating toward 29er wheels; bigger rolls faster. A similar width 29er tire is going to have a larger contact patch than a 26er tire (or 650b), but it's going to be faster.

@@dirragon1 agreed on all points! Personally, I have always preferred wider because I race enduro and traction is king, but that being said I think that it remains true in every type of riding as we are at the whim of the course. As for the weight, for faster XC riding I'll run smaller knobs on the rear and for chunkier race courses I'll run meatier knobs. At the end of the day I think that fitness will and technique will always in over bike weight/capability. I know guys that ride 42lb tanks and are insanely fast both up and down. Love these conversations though. Gotta keep the brain churning to improve!

Depends on the tire design. A lot of 2.3-2.35 tires are not designed for 30mm internal rims. In my experience, going from 30mm down to 25mm for my 2.35 rear was a big improvement as the profile became more rounded, allowing me to lean the bike more, and more easily while still having the knobs biting. It was simply too flat/stretched on the 30mm rims. I think you're generally better off going with a tire and rim size range that is designed for each other.

I am willing to get me 2 sets of wheels from DT-SWIss but, I'm confused because, I don't know what the difference between 25mm and 30mm inner rim width looks like. The widest tire in my collection is a 2.35 ardent race, the rest are 2.3 and 2.2 and that's about as wide and as thin my tires get. Now, in order not to get that bulb shape or burp tires at low pressure, what inner width should I consider for the anthem both front and rear?

I will be running schwalbe marathon 700x35c tyres. The rr421 has a inner rim width of 20mm . This bike will be used on ashfault roads and city streets 100% of the time. Is the the 20mm inner width the best option I am looking to get the best proformance and ride quality out of these rims and tyres. Or should I be looking for a different rim with a different inner width. Can you please let me know what is the difference between a asymmetric and symmetric rims. Is one better than the other and I don't if I have to pay more for the asymmetric rims if it is worth it. Thanks for reading my questions and thank you for any help you can give me.

Congrats on the new bike. 20mm rims with 35c tires are perfectly fine for street riding as the rims won’t take the beating that they would on the woods. You could go up to 38c wide tires, but not a huge difference, just a little wider. I would stick with what you have. Sounds fine to me!

Also, asymmetric rims basically have off centered spoke holes, which is said to make them stronger. Won’t make a huge difference for you, but doesn’t hurt to have more durable rims.

From what I understood the answer to your question is 'NO'. The 52 and 57 numbers should be the same and if they are not then your tires will not fit properly leading to malfunction and problems in stability. Your tire could dislodge from its beed and come off the rim at high stress times of riding. That is what I gathered from this video

Nikolajs Rubaniks if you don’t ride very aggressive you will be fine, but if you hit corners hard you could roll and pull the tire off of the rim. Also easier to slice the tire on a rock if it is very rounded. Sidewalls are more exposed.

Hey man, appreciate the video. Quick questions. I ride a 2.4 up front with a 23mm inner width and I just cased my rear wheel of the same dimension. I took it to the shop and unbeknownst to me they ordered me a much bigger wheel at 32mm and put the same 2.4” on the back. Is it okay to run a 23mm up front and a 32mm in the back? Also is a 2.4 okay on a 32 or should I go up to a 2.5/2.6? And finally should I put the 32 wheel up front or leave it in the back? Thank you ahead of time!!
@MTBTravelReview

A few questions there. haha. A lot of this depends a lot on your riding. Generally speaking, 30-35mm internal rims are much more common than the smaller 23mm, so I would lean towards 32mm for durability and stability purposes. Doesn't technically matter if front and back are different sizes. Your rear wheel will take 10x more abuse than the front, so you are fine, but personally having two different rims sizes would annoy the hell out of me. As far as tire size goes - with a 32mm internal rim, i'd recommend tires from 2.3"-2.5", so 2.4 is totally fine, but your call which. I like 2.3 or 2.4 rear and 2.5 front, but thats just me.

Hi there, hoping you can help. I’ve got a frame that was given to me but the bicycle has no wheels. My nearest bike shop is quite far away and don’t have car to bring it to the bike shop. Is there any way for me to figure out what size wheels and tyres I’ll need for my bike? Any measurements I can take? I’ve emailed the manufacturers company with the serial number of the frame but they haven’t been much help.
