Matching tire width to rim width.

When I got home, I measured the rim, and it's only 1" wide. Will a 2.5"
hookworm fit?

Try it out, it should be ok. Gazzaloddi's recommend that you use a rim
that is at least 28mm for 24x3" tires, but Joe uses an extremely narrow
rim on his 'MUni' (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/albut20/DSC00016).
I think he finds that it is not ideal, and that the tire folds over or
bottoms out sometimes, but it works most of the time. His rim is
probably way narrower than most stock rims so yours should work. Depends
on what kind of ride you are looking for I guess.

It'll work. I run the 24x3.0 fireball on a sun rhynolite. I also used to
run the untense 24x3.0 on it for muni. Your tire folds a occasionally,
but it'll work okay. Just carry a pump in case the rie shears off the
rim.

As for the ride, I haven't reached Mike yet, but if it happens it'll be
on saturday or possibly friday, but definitely not thursday, and highly
unlikely sunday. Worst comes to worst, it's just us two.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?

Thanks! Now the hard part: waiting for my stuff to arrive.
