hi folks ... I'm trying to do a bit of tyre math. I got some 650b wheels cheap off ebay (DT Swiss Spline E1800, believe they came off a canyon of some sort). The rim width is about 20mm and the internal prob between 16-17ish (hard to measure).
How wide of a tyre can I go on this rim? and what's the trade off with using a narrow rim, wider tyre. Do I just need newer wheels?
