For any given rim there is a precise relationship between inner and outer
width and it can be easily measured as exactly as one likes, but I'm not
sure how consistent the relationship is across all rim types. Granted, you
use what you have as do I. Understanding the distinction is important for

Of course inner width is important, but there is a close relationship
between inner and outer widths. and most manufacturers quote outside
width only so "ya use what ya got". Sheldon's charts by the way
only address the large end of the equation. that is... how big can
you go.

I believe Sheldon cautioned us to use the inner rim width to assess tire
suitability, not the outer.

The cliffhanger is one of the widest rims around at 28mm outside
width. I would not ride anything narrower than a 32mm tire on a rim
that wide. Since it's only available in 26 in. rims that would equate
to a 1.25 wide tire. I don't have any bikes in that size but I think
there are not many roadish
George:
You mention taking your Atlantis on a road trip. Is this a bke tour
or are you taking the bike along with you on a vehicle trip? Think
about what you're going to use the bike for and whether you need to
ride it every day to get where you are going. Those constraints are
important in you
