hey oop,

I'm building a 26 fixed as a bit of an off road, xc type job but im a bit confused by 26 wheels - i'm using Halo tornado rims... they have a nice slim 32mm width... what's the minimum tyre width i can use?

cheers

ps - used the search but it ignores '26' so too many results

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
