As others here, I wondered about the rim issue. My conclusion is it really is a near non-issue. Would a wider rim brake rim be ideal? Sure. But the squirrliness people fear isn’t that big a deal. The Cliffhanger rims are recommended for up to 65mm tires, that’s 2.6” (2.56” to be exact, which tire lables generally are not). I have no problem because 1. I trust Grant; 2. MTB tires used to squeeze onto amazingly small rims before the industry widened them; 3. I would rather the ride of a lighter fork than disk brakes, and there aren’t better brake options out there. It’s amazing what a lighter fork absorbes, and can be easily seen to do so on washboard roads (I don’t recommend trying this on the bike you’re riding on technical trail. Grin.).
Tire sizes: I believe all frame sizes are 650b/27.5 except the XL. My Large is 27.5, the Medium on the web special page is, and Ed’s Small is too.
