• Did I make the right decision choosing 22 inner width rims instead of 25?

  I also did mean to ask you, stu -- you said you've run tires as narrow as 32mm on 25mm rims. Did you ever encounter issues with sidewall damage, or damage to the rims with that little difference between tire and rim…

  Yes, the sidewall exposure is one thing that concerned me. It's too late for me to go back on my decision now, though, so here's hoping it works out well. I won't be going narrower than 37/38mm tires on these rims, and…

  Hi Mark, thanks. Sorry, I neglected to say that I'm almost 5', 10", and weigh about 155 lbs. Add another 15 to 20 lbs. if my backpack is fully loaded. I opted for 650b because I'm accustomed to 26" wheels, so 27.5"…
