You’re massively over analysing.
I tend to do that 🙂
Heres the background, stumpy FSR 29er with stock ROVAL rims and crappy OEM hi lo hubs. Supposedly 21mm inside (but measure up at 20.5mm) with 2.3 tyres
Garbage freehub fails.
Dont want to carry on with those wheels as they are pure rubbish, Rims seal tubeless very badly indeed and freehub if replaced even under warranty will reportedly fail again as it is utter throw away s***e.
I also have a nice hardtail with decent enough DT wheels on with 19.5mm inside rims.
So I have a choice, do I invest in some wide trail wheels for the trail bike, or use the slightly narrower DT wheels on the Stumpy, and when the marathon season starts again, invest in some nice lighter wheels for the hardtail which I use for marathon events.
