[#8357150]

From 2007. They are listed on some archive as having 18mm internal width, and they have that funny bead.

They worked really well with 2.0" Racing Ralphs back in the day - do we think I will be able to get a 2.2 or 2.3 to stay on tubeless?

I've been using Geax/Vittoria 2.2s (TNT and non-tubeless but run tubeless) on a front one for a while, no issues to speak of...

Using tubeless ready tyres will help I imagine. 2.0s on 26" look ridiculous these days ๐Ÿ™‚

Using 2.2 RRs no problem tubeless on old ZTR Olympics, don't know how you got the Geax TnT on though Amedias, I gave up in the end!

No I think there was a race version that was even lighter still, that had the racing snake weight limit. I'm certainly well above that figure ๐Ÿ™‚

I rolled a 2.5 nevegal off mine, but they were OK with 2.3s. Bit pinched, you wouldn't want to put a round-edged tyre on them.

A very old C456 singlespeed with rigid pace forks

Really not sure, 15 or so (rigid fork in a Soda and I weigh bugger all). Obviously not enough, since I twisted the tyre off on a root ๐Ÿ˜†
