I’ve run both Ehline 2.5” and Honcho 2.6” on Cliffhanger rims. Both measured just about true to indicated. Zero issues setting up tubeless. I’d go with Cliffhangers, personally.
I actually have an almost brand new set of 29” Cliffhanger wheels, laced to SON28 and Bitex rear (100/135). I wish I had a bike to use them on but I don’t. I built them for another bike but only used them for 50 miles before selling the bike. Never even hooked up lights to the dynamo. Let me know if interested.

Good to know! Sent from my iPhone Richard, my 2.5” Ehline measures right at 2.5”. They are huge sitting next to the Fleecer Ridge 55mm. They roll very fast compared to the Maxxis tire as well.

Hey Keith, are those rims tubeless compatible?
As for machined sidewall, neither set of my cliffhangers have them and braking hasn’t been an issue even with the ice and snow. I have seen plenty of 2.8” tires successfully run on a 25mm ID (like the cliffhanger) rim so i wouldn’t worry much there. You just can’t go quite as low with the tire pressure or they get a bit squirmy. Rider weight makes a big difference on that though at a certain point as well.

I used the Nimbus Dominator Unicycle rims on my Susie. 42mm outside /.32 inside. They don't offer the machined sidewall version anymore, but I haven't had braking issues. I can detect the pinned joint at times, but it's not a detractor. They're stronger than any other rim (they're meant to carry a rider's e tire weight on one unsuspended wheel) but feel MUCH lighter in reality than they do on paper. I wasn't too concerned about long-term aesthetics, but the brake surface has held up remarkably well. It's a good anodizing. I have anodized rims on one of my most used bikes from 1997 where the finish has held up well, too. In both cases, the blemishes occur when you use them in wet, muddy conditions and get grit on the pads. I have some Kris Holm 29er unicycle rims too, that are even wider and DO have a machined braking surface, but they'd be hard to find.
Ive posted pics of my susie a few times here over the past couple of years, but can try to take some more if you're interested. On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 8:41:01 AM UTC-7 lconley wrote:

Alex DM-24. When I was deciding what rims to get built for the Hubbuhubbuh, Rich said that the Alex rims were slightly wider - 1mm -> 32 mm wide.
2.5"-2.6" tires seem to be at the very upper limits for the venerable Cliffhanger. Is anyone aware of a 700c rim brake rim that is a bit wider? I have not found one.
