rim side wall width?
VeloCity states the outer rim width on all its rims but I need to know the inner rim width (before I buy) what is a reasonable estimate for this difference?

the dyad...
you can figure out what tires you can put inside the rim based on the inner rim width... i would like to know what tires i can fit in there.

Sheldon says otherwise
The ISO system uses two numbers; the first is the width of the tire or rim in millimeters (The actual tire width will vary a bit depending on the width of the rim. The rim width is the inner width measured between the flanges as shown in the diagram.)

Mavic gives the outer rim dimention as 19.6 mm. I have one here and the inner width is a little less than 15mm. Mavic says that the rim is good for tires from 19 to 28 mm.
My Open sport rim is 20.2 mm and Mavic recommends a tire width between 19 and 32 mm.
They don't give the inner width for any of their rims.
There seem to be some misunderstanding of the ISO standard.

Regardless of whether or not a tyre runs true to its marked size, once inflated to riding pressure the width of the tyre cannot be narrower than the *outside width* of the rim. Which is why it's the only width that matter for practical purposes. Go think about it. Not everything on Sheldons pages is correct, or useful if interpreted incorrectly.
