898.0. "Rim help????" by PNO::OPERATOR () Mon Oct 17 1988 16:00

    I have a ATB and want to go to a smaller width and smoother tire.
    Does anyone know the size of various rims  in relationship to tire
    size. I think my tires are now 26 X 2.? and my friend's are 26X1.9
    Can we go to a 26 X 1.25 Specialized Fat boy tire..

898.1What size are your RIMS?MAILVX::HOOD_DOMon Oct 17 1988 19:5811
    The Nashbar catalog has a rim-to-tire compatability chart.....
    I have 1.5 inch RIMS on my StumpJumper (gx-20??) and have 2.0 inch
    tires on the rims (Ritchey duroK). My Sierra has 1.75 inch RIMS
    and came with 1.5 inch tires. If I can go to .25 size smaller on
    the Sierra (araya) rims, then I would guess that you could go
    at least .25 inches smaller than on your RIMS. What size rims do you
    have ( present tire size is unimportant)??  Like I said, the Nashbar
    catalog has a chart.....
