noobie question about tires.
Hi,
Just wondering about the tire width for a rim that is 26x1.5. I have a cannondale f700. Stock tires were 26x1.95 Am I limited to 26x1.5 or can I go as narrow as 1.4? I was thinking of using Ritchey Tom Slick(26x1.4) thanks, Mutsu |

Pretty much any 26" tire will fit on your rim. Though, you may have a problem with larger tires fitting inside of your fork and chainstays. The only other problem you could have is fitting a SMALL width tire on a wide rim. You should have no problem with a 1.4" tire. |

Re: noobie question about tires.
I've got narrow tires and rims on one of my bikes. I had to use two washers between the hub and the forks, but it works fine on the road. When I go off-road I switch to larger tires and rims.
