My 26" touring set has Phil hubs an Velocity Areoheat ( a CX model) rims. I
usually run 37mm or so rubber on them. Bigger will work on the rim, but in the
bike. The rims are 24 mm wide

Subject: [RBW] Re: New Touring Wheelset question
Gary,
I have a 26" wheeled All-Rounder that I have toured with. 32 spokes
on the rear was marginal, 36 I didn't have a problem but I weigh 150
and don't carry a lot of gear.
Riding loaded, off-road, I would go large on the tire size and see
what rim the manufacturers recommend. Mine are 23mm rims (older Sun
CR-18s, Phil hubs) and I have used both 26x1.75 and currently 26x2.0
tires.
