Hi,
Just wondering about the tire width for a rim that is 26x1.5.
I have a cannondale f700.
Stock tires were 26x1.95
Am I limited to 26x1.5 or can I go as narrow as 1.4?
I was thinking of using Ritchey Tom Slick(26x1.4)
thanks,
Mutsu

Pretty much any 26" tire will fit on your rim. Though, you may have a problem with larger tires fitting inside of your fork and chainstays.The only other problem you could have is fitting a SMALL width tire on a wide rim.
You should have no problem with a 1.4" tire.

I've got narrow tires and rims on one of my bikes. I had to use two washers between the hub and the forks, but it works fine on the road. When I go off-road I switch to larger tires and rims.
