Will a 30 mm wide tire fit on Nimble Spyder rims? Any one in the know.

plan on using 700X30 Marathon tires if this helps

The rim is supposed to be 19mm wide, 0.5 mm narrower than an Open Pro.


19 mm rim drives the design

Spider's low profile 19-mm rim balances mass, strength, and stiffness. The rim is extruded and tempered aircraft-quality aluminum alloy. The rim weight is 375 grams (700C). The proprietary cross-sectional profile optimizes side-on airflow. I never felt the wheels quiver one bit while riding in very windy crosswinds. The front hub weighs only 68 grams, the rear 240 grams. Both designs use sealed cartridge bearings.

I believe the question of how wide a tire can you run on an Open Pro is one that has been answered many times in many different venues. I'm quite certain there are many very satisfied users who are running 30mm tires on an Open Pro. There are probably a goodly number of naysayers as well. I would have thought if you're looking for such a light weight, high zoot rim you'd have been thinking of the Grand Bois 700x30 tires...

I already own these so I wanted to make sure we'd have a proper fit before purchasing the tires. I do agree with your past post that a +40 mm wide fender will be best.
