Oooook Classic Stoo61 move this but having done all the research and made my choice and ordered the Pirelli Cinturato Velo in 35mm width...I THEN notice that Pirelli says they are incompatible with rims wider that 24mm.
Naturally, I have 25mm wide rims. This set me off down the rim width to tyre width rabbit hole with varying opinions over the last decade. I have had Schwalbe G One Speed 35mm on these rims, easily and apparently well seated tubeless and didn't feel or see any issue although apparently they aren't suggested as compatible either...
Lightbicycle say their WR45 rims are compatible with 28c-50c, which is precisely why I got them. I wanted to ride 35mm tyres primarily with the option to use 45 + gravel tyres.
What say the hive mind with regards to rim width and tyre width compatibility? Simply sub optimal or downright dangerous to get wrong?
(I am almost certainly going to fit them and ride them and see what I think because I want these tyres to work)
