1. I've come across many on-line references tables that indicate 14mm rim width and 32mm (1¼ inch) are not really compatible. In fact, https://www.betterbybicycle.com/2014...of-wheels.html states "The ideal relationship between tyre and rim section is about 1.8 times, but any tyre from 1.4 to 2.2 times should fit – always provided that the bead diameters correspond." The calculates out to 19.6 to 30.8mm tire for a 14mm rim.

3. I tried a 27 x 1.25 tire on one of these rims. Admittedly not a very good tire, but the tire was labeled 85 psi max. When inflating to anything over 70 psi, the tire bead separated from the rim and popped the tube.
