Aha, 31 mm is much more appropriate; I thought I read 25 on the website. SnoCats here: http://616fab.com/wheel/snowcat-wheels/ Note that mine were the SL -- for super light!! -- version, with quarter-size holes around the rim bed. Ebay has them from time to time, tho' this sale ended:

Patrick, if you're referring to the rims I linked to, they are 31 mm, not 25 mm. Your SnoCats sound interesting. Where are they available? I didn't find them for sale in a quick google... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To

Man, for 790 grams I'd want far more real estate than 25 mm. My SnoCat SLs (700C) weigh about 800 grams each and are 44 mm wide -- and sold to someone as soon as the hubs are rebuilt into the new ~400 gram Velocity Blunt SS's (30 mm wide). The SnoCats have brake tracks. On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at
