Ha, was in my LBS on Monday picking up my bike and talking about building up some 650b wheels. We were chatting about rim width with respect to tire width and the only callout my pro made was that a wider rim will "flatten" the tire profile. I mentioned that maybe really wide tires would look silly on narrow rims, and he responded "you've got way better eyes than me".
We chatted some more, but he is definitely in the "any tire on any rim" camp. On Wed, Dec 11, 2024 at 2:03 PM Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1.
