Do 30mm external light rim brake wheels exist?
« on: November 20, 2024, 10:23:59 AM »
I'm looking for 30mm external width rim brake wheels. Do they exist? Or because 30mm tyres have problems on most brake calipers and frames no one makes the?

The widest I can find in elite drives and a discontinued ar56 bby lightbicycle.

I have a newer gen rim brake giant TCR and want to fit 30mm wheels and tyres on it.

MAtter, i assume this is the Tagoola DAO classic.

Good price and good width but the weight is just too much for me. Im looking for a lighter set.

Kyle.

Little late, but maybe this will help someone. All modern short reach rim brake calipers max out at 23-25mm rim width. Mostly at 23. So you might possibly be able to run a 30mm wide tire with your particular frame and caliper but getting effective braking (assuming they can fit at all) with a 30mm rim will be problematic.

In that case how are people running Zipp 303 (26.4mm), Winspace (~28mm) rim brake wheels? Older generation brakes indeed maxed out at 25mm, but most recent rim brakes do accept 28mm wheels

I got direct mount rim brakes from Campy. My wheels measure 29.2 at the brake track. Works easily. I used them with standard Chorus calipers, Bontrager brakes and Ultegra calipers before. In fact, my current brakes would probably accept even more.

Not really the case. I had gen 2 Sram Red calipers with 29 rim width and 28 mm tires. They can easily fit 31-33 external width and 30 mm tire.
