Hi there,

I recently acquired a 1980 (1979 colors) Fuji S12-S LTD from C-List:



The previous owner upgraded the wheels to Mavic Module E2 rims laced to the original Sunshine hubs. They measure 19.8mm outer rim width, and are currently sporting old Specialized 700c x 25c tires which actually measure out at around 20mm.

I love the wheels but would really like to put some fatter tires on the bike (I believe the fork/chainstay clearances will pan out), but I'm concerned about actually mounting the tires to a narrow rim like these Mavics.

I've searched for answers online for a while and haven't found anything conclusive letting me know if it'll work.

Anyone have any experience mounting 35mm tires on narrow rims like these? \

Thanks!
