    Hi

    I currently have 700 x 40 tyres fitted. I don't know what size the
    rims are as they are not marked. The tyres are the original ones fitted
    when I bought the bike. How can I tell what size the rims are?

    There should be a label on the rim that says "622-19" or something
    similar. The second number is the width.

    Failing that, look at sheldonbrown.com to find the proper definition of
    rim width and measure it yourself.

    What's
    the narrowest tyre I can fit?

    The same reference from above has a table to answer that question at:
