I don't know about 22mm, but almost everyone I know who uses 23mm tires is above 145 pounds. I used them for at least 10 years @ 200 lb, and I have friends who weigh 220 and over who use 23mm tires. You do have to run them at high pressure, of course: 120 psi for a 200 lb rider. > Also, I think it is dangerous to ride 22mm tires on a carbon fork. > You're pushing the pressure limits and doing so on a fork that > probably won't support a flat at speed. Why more dangerous with carbon than with any other fork material? I don't see that at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
