All,
As I am looking into building a new spoked disc brake rear wheel, using a Talon MX hub, I need to decide on a rim width. I will stick to 18", so VM3/2.15 (as stock) or 2.50 are the obvious alternatives.
Hagon Shocks in the UK are also wheelbuilders, and have a rim/tyre recommendation sheet on their webpage, with the following listed for these two alternative rim sizes:
For VM3/2.15 rims the following tyre sizes are recommended: 3.25-3.50-3.60-90 (metric)
For 2.50 rims, the following tyre sizes are recommended: 4.00-4.10-100-110 (metric)
Any recommendations from you guys? I guess it will be both regarding tyre sizes and rim sizes..
