What's the largest tyre width that would sit on a 17mm rim please?
Back in the day we used to run 2.1in Specialized Ground Controls on re-rolled Mavic MA40 road rims and "love the rounded profile".
MA40s are 19.5mm outside width. Is your 17mm internal or external?
2.5
Ran irc mudmad 2.35 on x317's for ages, loved them.
Ran 2.1s no bother on 717s and 2.2 x29 on open pros....
Worrys me not.
running 2.25 rocket rons no sweat on a mavic 717
2.35 Nevegals (ie, actual 2.35 not rubber-ruler 2.35) worked fine for me on 717s. While ago now and tbh I never rode them [i]that[/i] hard, but I never noticed a downside.
What I found interesting was that the Mavic website says up to 2.1, but the rim sticker said up to 2.3.
