The BSD, or bead seat diameter is the diameter of the seat that the rim has for the bead, the "hook" zone. from my quick measure of the Ambrosio 19's I have the rim cross section is a bit taller so it goes up the tire more, about 1 mm, not much but enough. Design error? Tooling error? Just worried about the new high pressure tires blowing off the rim? Who knows.
