• 35 or 40mm rim width for 27.5+ wheelset?
    Will probably be running 2.8" tyres but would be nice to be able to go a bit slimmer or wider if needs be. Some forums/articles suggest 40+ leaves a squared tyre more prone to sidewall damage.
    Will be for my mtb/monstour bike so would be nice if they felt relatively normal as opposed to fatty tractor wheels.

  • I'd say 35. 40+ is bordering on the fat realm. I have 2.8's sitting on 30's and it's a good shape, 35 would probably be even nicer, but anything wider will probably splay the carcass out too much.
