im interested in wide rims and what sort of advantage they offer over conventional rims. by wide i mean the salsa disc rim. thats pretty wide and its been touted as providing a larger contact patch and thus greater traction as more tread is in contact with the trail. im also envisioning a tire that has less of a tendancy to sqirm at lowish pressures mounted on a wide rim like this.
are these things all in my head? am I over thinking this or do you folks whove run em noticed a dif?
thanks for any opinions.
