FWIW, I have been happily riding 72 mm (actual; labeled 3"/76 mm) tires
(tubed and tubeless) on (non-tubeless) Alex 24 mm OW (again, OW, so
internal width probably what, 20 mm?) rims (with, tubless, a lot of Stan's
tape) and a cupful of OS Endurance in each tire. 13 psi. Works fine, as did
the 1.95
Halo components in the UK do some wide rims for rim brakes in 26", 27.5"
and 29".
Their SAS is 26 or 27.5" and 30mm internal width.
Their T2 is 29" and 26mm internal width.
I think they have some other models too.
I have the SAS 27.5" on my single speed MTB. I was worried they'd feel
heavy (7
This just reminded me ... I scored some 27.5x2.8" WTB Rangers the other
day. I wonder if they'll be taller on the cliffhangers.

Thanks for the chart Laing!
Deore's and many others clear 2.8" G Ones on a 650b Cliffhanger on the Gus
just fine. I guess I get some leaves in between the tire and the cable
sometimes, but that happens with all rim brakes IME.
The Motolites technically cleared, if I set them up very close to th
Shimano Deores are only 4mm (1/6") longer than Paul Motolites. If you want

Paul brings up an excellent point. If you plan on running the max tire size on your Gus, just make sure the brake you use will clear it. I had already purchased MotoLites for mine before even considering a tire size. Ended up going with 2.5” Ehlines, which turned out to clear the brakes by maybe 1c
Richard,
I run 2.8" G-ones on Cliffhangers on my Gus without any problems. I don't
think the frame would take a bigger tire, and v-brakes almost certainly
won't. I already had to Swap the Paul Motolites for Deores to clear the
2.8" G-ones.
So if you want Cliffhangers on your Susie, no need to w
Hi Scott. Right now thinking 2.6” Maxxis Recons. Possibly Teravail Ehline 2.5” but I read they really are more like 2.25”. I’ve owned true “plus” bikes before & ran 2.8”-3.0” tires on 30-45mm wide rims with success. Not sure I want to go that big. Not a lot to choose from in rim brake rims.Sent fro
Richard, what width tire are you wanting to run on your new Gus, 2.8?
I'm getting some Cliffs built for my new Gus, and I plan on running 2.6 to
begin with and like having the option to run 2.8 tires. 2.6 is within
Velocity's recommended rim width. I think one could safely go outside of
"recomm
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.
