Trying to deciede what rims I should get I started thinking, my current rims are 24mm wide (17mm inner width I think) and when running 2.1 tires I have absolutely no confidence in these rims/wheels in sharp corners. Only if I run the tires rock hard they dont fold over kinda, very annoying. It works going straight ahead but I want to go really really fast in corners and I want solid feedback from the wheel.
Anyway http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html
A general guideline is that the tire width should be between 1.45/2.0 x the inner rim width.
there is also a chart on that page.
So if I want to run 2.1/2.3/2.5 tires with confidence what is the correct rim width?
I was thinking 36mm for a 2.5 tire and 32mm for a 2.3, will it work good? Or maybe 32mm front and rear.
Can you run a 2.0 or 2.1 tire on a 36mm rim? 32mm? Or will the tire look like a square?
(I need to be able to run my winter tires with the same rims)
And some more questions, I keep reading about how soft and crappy (like cheese) DT rims are, you cant even look at them almost without risking the rims to self destruct, also all Sun rims, Halos and even Atomlab rims are prone to this, is it true?
