But if I ever build up a another set (road use?), it would be something like that.Eric Daumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910609725656013290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962332031207942496.post-38795326782775222842016-04-20T16:57:22.566-04:002016-04-20T16:57:22.566-04:00Just FYI, the new Stans Flow MK3 would be a good m...Just FYI, the new Stans Flow MK3 would be a good match. 29mm internal width, 520g.

Now, I kind of wish I'd stuck to my know how and just gotten another Blunt--I haven't seen any real benefit to the wide rim, beyond making the tire a touch wider, and it doesn't seem to work well with narrower tires.Eric Daumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910609725656013290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962332031207942496.post-2181509863270385172016-03-25T13:48:32.318-04:002016-03-25T13:48:32.318-04:00I'm looking at getting a Jones Plus.

I've long run 2.3" Big Apples on my Gen 1 Salsa Fargo and other frames, usually on rims on the far other end of the spectrum...perhaps 17mm internal, happily. I think Jeff would steer me to a wider rim than say, Velocity Blunt 35mm, but I think even a 3.0 tire would work. Mike See has argued that plus tires don't need wider than 35mm rims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
