I saw these Litepro rims:

and was wondering if they would work on the Birdy and if yes, what's the widest tire that could work. It looks like it gets fairly tight at the rear swingarm.
Thanks in advance again.
I have those rims. A 406 20" with a tyre up to 1.35 will work fine. I use a 1.1 Schwalbe and I have about 1cm clearance. The bike rides better than on 18x1.5 rims/tyres, but it is a harsher ride. I use the matching Lite-Pro brake levers, so they adjust nicely to 20" from 18" too. You can get them cheaply on Aliexpress or a similar site. Sorry not sure I can post photos but there s one on the Facebook Global Birdy Forum,.
