« Last post by natethegreat on Today at 12:58:07 am »29er touring tire suggestions anybody?
OK so the best I could do on the cheap side of this Trek 920 build (avoiding factory 28H wheels) is a high flange SRAM hubs with Ryde Rival 30 29" Alloy Rims Mountain Disc DW Wheelset. Not much out there in 36Hs for these unless I go custom.
The Ryde website says Rival 30: TIRE WIDTH (MM) 42-64
Does Schwalbe Marathon Greenguards of 700C x 50mm sound OK for these rims?
Schwalbes are nearly flat proof.
I am not sure my newish 700x 37 Schwalbe tires will fit. The rims are hooked and inner width is about 29mm. I want some suspension I guess, but decent rolling resistance.
Suggestions?
