Tire widths on wide rims - Page 3

Nurse Ben · 2010-09-06, 04:07 AM

WTB Stout 29 x 2.3 on a 47mm KH FR Rim = 2.25" case, 2.4" tread
Duro Wildlife 26 x 3 on a LM 65mm = 2.8"
Intense DH 26 x 2.5 Frolite SR 50 on a 47mm K1 = 2.5"

Notice that the Intense DH 2.5 was actually narrower on the LM rim. This seems to result from the tire being stretched too wide, so the sidewalls pulled in and made the tire cross section narrower.

So I decided to put a true 3' tire on the LM and keep the 2.5 for the narrower rims; yeah, like 47mm is narrow

My muni stable is getting outta hand:
Ti 26 x 2.5
Surly 26 x 3
KH 29 x 2.5
KH 36 x 2.5

My son:
KH 24 x 3
KH Trials

Just sold a Nimbus II 24" Freestyle, so I guess that'll make some room...

Continental Trail King 26x2.4 (Folding, Black Chili; ~50mi use) on 47mm Trialtech Race rim @ 20 PSI = 2.6"

WTB Wolverine 29x2.2 (Wire bead; ~10mi use) on 47mm KH rim @ 20 PSI = 2.4"

Schwalbe Hans Dampf 29x2.35 (Folding, Pacestar; new) on 47mm KH rim @ 20 PSI = 2.4"

I was a little surprised the casing didn't measure significantly wider than the wire bead Wolverine 2.2 but the Hans does weigh about 100g less and should offer much improved grip; both good things.

26x2.7 Maxxis Highroller on KH 47mm rim = 2.58in

Knard 29 x 3" (27tpi) mounted on a Nimbus Dominator 2 (42mm) = 75mm or ~ 3"

MEC on a onza pro dimond rim= 2.65

Nokian Gazza 24x3" on KH47 -> 75mm -> 3.0"
Larry 26x3.8 on LM light -> 93mm -> 3.7"
Nate 26x3.8 on LM -> 97mm -> 3.8"
The Nates sidewall is bulging out here and there if i increase the pressure.
(yes, always far below maximum...

)
But maybe thats a problem of only "my" Nate.

Has anyone tried a 24" LM with a KH frame?

davidp · 2013-03-20, 11:26 PM

Yes, there are a few who have and still do run the Marge 24" in a KH24 frame with a 24x3 tire. A search should turn up more specifics but offset adapters need to be used with Magura rim brakes.

digger · 2013-03-21, 05:52 AM

Ok. breaks will be no problem since there are disc breaks now.
i just wonder if there is enough clearance(?) for the tire.
might be my next project..

knoxuni · 2013-03-22, 02:33 PM

If you are wanting to run a large marge on a kh there will be enough clearance

digger · 2013-03-23, 10:34 AM

thanks. Yes, i've seen some pics of "MuniAddict". I think he's got a 24KH with LM.
