wider rim = wider tire… as in the same tire will be wider on the wider rim. There is a noticeable difference between 22.5 and 27.5… 22.5 is probably close to what's on your Homer. 27.5 will be more like a rim on a beach cruiser.
Those all look like double wall rims w/ eyelet's… any of them are probably fine for your purpose. I would probably go with the Rhyno Lite (27.5) just for the extra width. --Smitty On Thursday, January 16, 2014 5:00:38 PM UTC-8, hsmitham wrote: > > Hey I need the collective wisdom of this group.
