Looking to buy a set of 29 inch rims with following dimensions

ETRTO 632-25DIN
O.L.D. 100/135

Planet x list rim dimensions as Depth: 20mm, Width: 23mm

Currently I have conti travel contact tyres sized. ETRTO 37-622 on a set of alex rims sized 622x16mm

Does anyone know if these tyres would fit the new rims?

Cheers chaps...

The new rims are Gipiemme Kenya 29er Disc Rims, the old ones are Alex DF23

It seems like Gipiemme have just invented a entirely new rim size I didn't know existed. I suspect they've made a typo but someone may know better.

According to http://www.gipiemme.com/products/148-keya-29-tubeless.aspx they're actually a 17mm rim (the important width dimension on a rim is the internal one - it's infuriating that companies have to complicate the issue by listing the external width). You'll be fine with those tyres.

But it's the 632 bit I've never seen before. 700C/MTB 29" is 622.

Where are you getting the 632 from? Not on the link I gave, or anywhere I can see on on-one site. Definitely a misprint - has never been a wheel that size (old 27" was 630).

Which (unsurprisingly) is exactly the same page as at on-one, and I can't see any mention of 632.

Edukator .... Yes there does seem to be some conflicting information!

What's your point, caller? Are you taking what the OP wrote on here as definitive information?
