2834.0. "RFC: tire & rim combination" by ALFAM7::URBAN () Thu Aug 25 1994 12:53
Hi folks,
I just got a bunch of bike stuff I mailordered.
I ordered 22mm Alesa rims, but got the 25.9mm.
I meant to order the 700-37C Schwalbe Marathon tires, but ordered the
700-32C. (i.e., 5 mm thinner).
what do you netters think about the combination of 5mm too small tires
with 5mm too wide rims? will they cancel each other out, or should I
send the rims back? One plus with the 26mm rims is strength (I tend to
mash rims...)
thanks,
-Rob Urban (about to build his 4th wheel)

| 2834.2 | it's a hybrid | ALFAM7::URBAN | | Thu Aug 25 1994 15:32 | 4 |
| The bike is a Bianchi hybrid (21 speed). I do a lot of city riding and
some touring (and occasionally ride through some mud :-)).

| 2834.3 | One opinion | JURA::MACFADYEN | whatever | Mon Aug 29 1994 09:55 | 7 |
| 32mm tyres with 26mm rims sounds more sensible than 37mm tyres with 22m
rims, that's for sure.
For city riding, I reckon you should stay with what you've got.
