Re: [RBW] Velocity Cliffhanger 650B Rim experience?

My only complaint about Velocity rims is that you can't really tell which rim is for what. They all seem to be for touring/trekking/offroad/on-road whatever. For example the Atlas is listed in Road, Touring, Cross. Others are listed in multiple categories too. The Cliffhanger is in Mountain

The Cliffhanger seems like a great rim for a Bomba. They're 5 mm wider than the Atlas or A23, and not much heavier. The 2.1 Thunder Burt would be a good tire to try as well. They're in-between the Schwalbe knobbies and the Compass tires you referenced, as far as speed and traction. On Sat, Nov
