I'm not sure if rim that narrow is appropriate for the 2.6" tyre. I use the 2.6" JW on the 35 mm WT (Wide Trail) rim.Does anybody know what the real width of these tires? Real width of 2.6 on the rim 23-25mm
Thank you. On the rim of 35 mm width will be 2.6.. I would like to get feedback from users with a narrow rim 23-25mmI'm not sure if rim that narrow is appropriate for the 2.6" tyre. I use the 2.6" JW on the 35 mm WT (Wide Trail) rim.
Can do the measurement for you in a few hours.

My brother has just measured the width. 62-64 mm (nominally 65 mm).
thanks.. as always schwalbe tires are narrower than stated by the manufacturerI'm not sure if rim that narrow is appropriate for the 2.6" tyre. I use the 2.6" JW on the 35 mm WT (Wide Trail) rim.

Does this imply that your comparison of the Electraks vs JWs was of 5000km old tires vs new tires?Lemming. I rode for 5000 km on Electraks. Shut up(You're always off-topic, noticed that?)
I am running a 27.5x2.6 tire on a 25mm rim on the front of one of my ebikes and it handles just fine.Thank you. On the rim of 35 mm width will be 2.6.. I would like to get feedback from users with a narrow rim 23-25mm
can you measure the width of the tire on this rim of 25 mm?I am running a 27.5x2.6 tire on a 25mm rim on the front of one of my ebikes and it handles just fine.
If I was to pick a new rim for a 2.6, I would prefer something wider like 30mm
Not until later today as I am away from the bike at the moment.can you measure the width of the tire on this rim of 25 mm?
Yeah, sorry for mixing it up, old habitsIt's amazing how fluid we all need to be with Imperial and Metric measurements when discussing bike stuff.
All that is good advice and mostly true,Putting a wide tire on a rim that is at the narrow end of acceptable, makes pinch flats more possible, makes for a smaller contact patch, reducing traction and also narrows the tire profile reducing the comfort factor. It is always best to combine tires under consideration in the mid range of approved for the size rim being used rather than near either extreme.
No need to apologise, I was just making a statement. We all DO have to be able to work in both when dealing with bicycle stuff.Yeah, sorry for mixing it up, old habits
I use US/metric for different bike measurements and convert over as needed, usually to cater to the audience.
I originally had the tire width in metric and but converted to US since the question was on the size of a 2.6
Hey, that has to be subjective. Because I installed 2.6" JWs on my Trance E+ easily (involving a lot of soap, true), and I'm the type described in my country as "a person with both left hands"Received my JW 2.8. This tire is very tight, I have never had a problem installing tires including nobby nics, but this has been a nightmare. Trying to fit this on 40mm alex rims and I have already had two small scratches on the rim and my hands are sore.
