rim to accomodate

mess14951 said:

so, i have this 20x2.3 tire and i need a rim to accomodate it. will a
2.125 rim work, or a 20x2.0? the iso is no problem but i just need
something wide enough for the casing to stay put.

just get the widest rim you can find.
rims are NOT measured like that. figure out what you are talking about.
then come back to us. if you have a 1/2 reasonable question.

frame clearance matters.

gah, not to be a jerk, but you don't know what you are talking about.

width of the rim only matters if you have a racing 24" tire (1" or so)
and a massive offroad mountain bike tire.

just put the tire on the rim, if you are doing trials the wider the rim
the better because you won't fold the tire as much, and if you don't
know what I'm talking about don't worry about it.

if you are thinking about getting a new rim , tell us what uni you have
and we will tell you what rim will work with it, if another/better rim
works at all.

the best thing for street/trials is a 19" trials rim
freestyle is a 20"
muni/XC=24"

you don't know what you're talking about
if you are getting a new rim, get a 19" and get a Creepy crawler tire
for it.
it will be worth it.

let me put it this way. I have put a 1.5" tire and a 2.35" tire on the
same rim
don't worry about the rim, you don't know what you are talking about.
your rim is NOT 2.125" wide
it doesn't matter about the tires, the size they say to get for your
bicycle is the BEST I N T H E I R O P I N I O N

Tell them what hub you have. Then they can hopefully tell you what
spokes and rim you need. As long as the tire is the right diameter
for the rim, it should fit more or less. Tire clearance to the frame
is more the limiting factor. Some frames can fit fatter tires.

here is the thing, technically it should work, i konw what you are
talking about and sorry for overreacting or whatever...BUT my 1.75 rim
will not fit the 20x3.0 tire. When i start pumping it up the casing
just pops right off because the rim will not hold it on, and for the
20x2.5 i know about the 19 inch rim because the iso diameter is
smaller, but this the casing on the tire will not stay on no matter
what.

umm...I hate to say it, but skrobo's right. Your rim is probably not
1.75 inches wide (they're measured in mm anyway)...and there's no such
thing as a 20x3.0 tire...

1.75 inches wide, and there's no such thing as a 20x3.0" tire...

but, notwithstanding the previous things, a 1.75" rim (44.45 mm) would
most definitely be able to hold a 3" wide tire. That's wider than most
muni rims, and they hold 3" tires on a regular basis.

edit: sorry about the double post.

sounds like a problem with the tire's bead or the rim then.

maybe the rim is saying the largest tire it can accommodate is a
20x1.75" tire? which would make it more like a 25mm rim.

yeah yeah...can you give us a link to the tire, or tell us what
brand/model it is? i'm sure there are some trials riders out there who
would love a 3" tire...but it may cause some frame clearance issues 🙁

yeah, those are for the chopper bikes, i have seen them. they are
seated on rims like 2" wide, i don't know what to tell you.
figure out how to glue your tire on, it wouldn't be that great anyways.
The rim will just be too skinny. it will fold on the smallest sidehop.

most rims are measured in mm (for width). So like the KH07 rim is 47mm.

ANd if ur 2.3" tyre pops out of the rim which was holding a 1.75" tyre
then theres a problem with the rim or tyre. I changed from a 1.75" tyre
(with a very thin rim) to a 2.3" tyre and everything went fine.
