  • My rims that have the 42c tyres are only 13mm internal width, no issues whatsoever. Rode a cross race yesterday on the same rims but with 33c cross tyres and only rolled the tyre once because I was being an idiot.

    Wider rims are nicer but if you don't have them then it won't really limit you on tyres too greatly, after all 5/10/15 years ago narrow rims were the only rims and people still rode cross and mtb on them.

    Tl;dr get the 35c kojaks it will be okay. Once they're on the rim they'll probably measure closer to 30c anyway

  • Thanks. So the chance of rolling one of these tyres off the rim on a fast corner, roundabout etc is slim? Longer term ie when the rims needs replacing I'll use wider poo refine rims

  • I'm running 54c tyres on 17mm internal rims. It's fine as long as you're running enough pressure that the sidewalls don't collapse when you lean.
