I Have RH 38 MM Barlow pass & 35 mm Bon Jovi pass endurance casing on Campy proton rims 18 mm wide They measure spot on
RH 32 mm measure 29 mm on campy neutrons, but RH tells you on the website they will measure 29mm BTW the only tires I have ever had that measure as advertised From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Father of Sam Sent: Friday, December 13, 2024 11:12 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> Subject: [RBW] Re: Rene Herse Tire Actual Width Hi Oliver, You may have heard enough already, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in: I've had 4 different models of RH tires mounted solely on Velocity Cliffhanger rims (700c and 650B with an IW of 25mm), and all have measured exactly as the label on their sidewalls indicate. Cliffhangers are about as wide a rimbrake capable rim as you'll find. My guess is that the manufacturer would rather overshoot on the label than undershoot, as ultimately the width of the rim dictates the actual mounted tire width. If RH were labeling their widths according to a median instead of a maximum rim width (say, 19 or 20mm), then the Hatcher Pass might be labeled 700 x 44 instead of 700 x 48. If they're labeled as 44mm wide, and I've carefully measured the clearance between my chainstays as 48mm, then I would buy these Hatcher Pass tires expecting that they would have as perfect (IMO) 2mm of clearance on each side. But then, lo and behold, I mount them on my Cliffhanger rims, and I'm left with a wheel whose tire rubs the chainstays and I'm mumbling curses under my breath. Makes sense to me that stated width errs on the larger side. Hopefully that lends a little peace of mind.

On the RH website they list the approximate "actual" width with certain given rim IDs, and I've noticed the ones I've gotten to be under. The two rim IDs i've used are 17mm and 21.6mm As an example, I'm running a set of Babyshoe Pass 42s on 17mm ID and they are measuring 38mm None of this is really too much of a deal as they are great tires and I really enjoy riding on them, but I wondered what other's have noticed in terms of actual width. Of course I know it all depends on the rim and tire... ect. but it was something I noticed and thought I'd ask if anyone else had the same experience.
