Mavic EX 729 Tire Size

Lee Taylor said:

Thinking of getting the above rims but would want to stick a
1.5 tire on from time to time (revivers, sea 2 sea bike rides), mavics
web site say that
2.1 tire size are the lowest you can put on them. Do you think I can go
lower than 2.1 if not why not ?, or if anybody has is there any probs.
Cheers lee...

If you're refering to the EX 721, I've been using Panaracer Hi-Roads 1.5
on these rims for almost a year without a problem.

EX729 won't handle 1.5. It is too narrow for the rim and won't seat in
properly. Just buy a new tire. You can buy a decent tire for cheap.
Ex729 are good rims that can handle big hits and not heavy
