Great article and comments here. Probably not the place to ask, but with the conversation in the comments, maybe.
I'm mid-bell curve. I ride all kinds of trails. I race xc for fun sometimes, I do longer races sometimes for fun.
I've only ever ridden 27mm-30mm ID rims and 2.35/2.40 tires. Currently on 27mm ID WAO factions and 2.4 Schwalbes. On my ibis ripley, I'm super interested to try 35mm ID rims and 2.6. At ~200lbs packed up, would do you all think? Would this be an improvement? thanks for the thoughts.
