Hi All,
I'm using a rear wheel with internal width of 17 mm - which I chose by
ignorance/mistake, but that's anothr story.
I've been using 23mm tyres, and I'm fully aware that the contact
surface of the tyre with the road is far greater that would be in a
narrower rim...
So, with having to try 2 or 3 more measures, which would give the
least contact surface with the road, for the same air pressure -
around 120 psi, possibly 110? 25mm or 28 mm??
By the way, I'm starting to get suspicious on 13 mm width rims... I
have one in the front, and this is now the 2nd tyre, that run on
either, intermidiate recommeded pressure - 100 psi, Hutchinson - and
max. rec. pressure - 115 psi, Michelin Krilium - has started to crack
the sidewalls No thorns, stones, or anything like that where I
ride - road only, clean city roads.
I guess my next rim will be 15 mm width ;-)
TIA,
Ride your 2 wheels, but in order to ride them yet another day!
