Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

I'm going to fit my mudguards and if there's still a bit of clearance I'm tempted by 26mm gravel kings. If there's no more room I might have to stick with the 25s and hope they stretch like you mentioned

25mm on wide rims is plentiful, I wouldn't worry about that really.

I've fitted famously tricky Veloflex to my arc31 rims and that was quite an operation. Really just a fluke the fragile tubes didn't get damaged.

FWIW the 23mm tyre sits nicely matching exactly the rim width at 24mm. The rear is 25mm and measures just that.

You are the wise man that just made my life much, much easier...

Just got both tyres on my Arc22 rims without levers in about 2 minutes thanks to you!

Has anyone ever ridden/owned Giant Rigida Dp18 wheels? Aside from the obvious replacement spokes problem, are they any good?

Lolz.

Proprietary carbon-spoked wheels from almost 20 years ago... What could possibly go wrong...

No accounting for taste.

I bet they handle like a fucking pig in the wind and are probably harsh to boot.

They look shite!

Get arrospok instead.

At the risk of being annoying, I don't think arrospoks look good on roadies. Someone please prove me wrong

You're very wrong, please write an apology on a postcard.

There goes my lunch

That bird though...

What sort of pressures are the wide rim/tyre runners on here riding? New to the game and currently setting front and rear at 90psi for arc22 rims with 25mm tyres. Interested to hear what others are using

100 rear, 95 front on wide 18mm internal, 25c tire, 82kg.

18mm internal width.

75psi rear, and 65psi front (25mm).

75-80kg.

YMMV.

Wow that's pretty low. I'm 74kg so I might give that a go and see what it's like.

Cheers
