anyone running fat tyres with skinny rims?

got the girl friends bike and want to run something with a bit of grip and snakebite protection, not the 2.1 Mountain Kings currently on there (how do conti classify a mountain?)

2.4 RR's on olympics were OK at firm pressures (not measured it tho)

2.35 kenda blue groove and nevagal on 717's no trouble.

2.3s on 717s were ok for me

2.35 chunders on 717s were fine.

Personally, I really don't like the feel. 2.35" on a 317 feels to me like it's about to roll off. That's why I use a flow rim, wider, feels more stable and gives a better footprint. Plus it makes most 2.1" feel like a 2.2/2.3"

2.4 adVantage on 719's, lovely!

just got back in. very wet ride so can't really say too much.

you do get more tyre roll (tyre hanging off the rim) but i can run a higher pressure but still have lots of cushioning.

the main thing, i didn't die. which is good.
