I'm dropping down to the Schwalbe Marathons in a 700x35mm for the greatly reduced rolling resistance that I'll need on my 610 mile trip to Michigan, which should be generally over more flat and smooth terrain than my usual trips around here. So with the 35mm being the thinnest and 42 mm being the fattest tire, I would think the 27mm rims would be the best choice. Would you agree?
Yeah it's great for a super tough low cost rim for rim brake bikes. As you can see from the chart it'll work. The shops recommendation for LX hubs as its durable and commensurate with the rim. The Velo-Orange Escapade is shinier with a better seam.
