Steamroller tires
I'm having difficulty understanding the tire/rim charts on sheldon's site. Does anyone know how wide of tires I can fit onto the stock Steamroller rims? They are Alex da-13 700c. Thanks for the help!

i think a lot of people have that problem where they think bigger tires require bigger wheels, or should I say wider wheels. You can fit the tires on a 700c wheel as long as they are labeled as 700c x "X"
If you notice the tire sizing only says 700c x 23 or 25 etc etc, there's never a mention of wheel width.
