Dear Paceline Cognizenti
I have a Cyclocross bike on which I had used always tubulars or standards clinchers rims.
There I can run a Michelin Mud 700x30c but seems to me that the tyre "balloons" enough... I don't mount wider tyres on it.
I had not riden it for 2 years more or less and now I would like to set it with wider tyres, more like a gravel bike... 700x35c for example or a bit more.
I have a set of Mavic A319 rims, that I could build a set for this bike, these are Touring rims I have the same setup on my commuter, but my commuter is a heavy steel bike with racks, mudguards, heavy commuter tyres etc.
I think maybe these rims would be a bit too much for a nimble and light Cyclocross carbon frame.
I was thinking on getting something in between, so a set of DT Swiss R 460 for example.
Do any of you have a similar setup ? can you post some pictures ?
Thanks
