• Is a 36mm internal rim on the wide side for 2.2” / 55mm tyres? Should I err on the side of caution and go for 30mm internal instead?

  • I’ve run a 2.2” tyre on a rim that’s 38mm external (so must be 34-36mm internal) and has no issues.

    I did worry that the sidewalk might be more vulnerable being that it doesn’t pull in to a narrow rim but it never actually seemed to be an issue and that was with a Conti RaceKing so quite a lightweight tyre.

  • a rim that’s 38mm external (so must be 34-36mm internal)

    If you haven't actually measured, assume internal is external minus at least 5mm for a hooked aluminium rim, so that 38mm rim is no more than 33mm internal.
