  • any interesting (and geeky) discussion gentlemen. i would want to run 28 -32c with the option of using 23c or 35c occasionally. i usually run tyres around 90 - 100psi.

    this stuff about the A23 is quite interesting:

    Velocity's A23 is the answer to the problem you did not know you had. The A23 is essentially a wider Aerohead rim. The idea behind a 23mm wide rim is that when paired with a 23c tire, the internal width of the rim clinches the tire beads just right so that the tire profile is very close to that of a tubular rim. So you get less rolling resistance, better cornering, and a better ride (you can run your tires at a lower pressure

    I get a similar effect running a 20mm veloflex on a 19.4mm cxp33. Buttery smooth rolling.

    Smallfurry: I've got a 40h A719 on the rear of my Jackson. IMO they're a great rim and well worth the price.

    Cheers. Just been reminded by lots of sites that mavics cant be exported. So I need to find a more local source, which might be pricey.
