you haven't been able to measure the width yet ?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

35mm would be better. See my prior post with a rim/tire width table.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.

I don't have 35 mm rims, I have 2435mm would be better. See my prior post with a rim/tire width table.
You have been given all the information you need to make your own decision, by many people without so much as a thank you, I might add.I don't have 35 mm rims, I have 24![]()
here a person has 2.6 tires on a 25 mm rim, which means that no one uses it?You have been given all the information you need to make your own decision, by many people without so much as a thank you, I might add.
There is a good reason no one is answering your question. Stop asking people to take measurements of something no one has the bad sense to put on their bikes.
The gist of is that you are asking for trouble putting a nominally 66mm wide tire on a 24mm inner width rim. Just take the chance and put them on or get wider rims laced into your bike...your decision. No one is going to make up your mind for you and just do it.
24 is not 25 and both are not good for 2.6 You have been given tables to consult and opinions to follow or not. You have been given more than enough information and opinion. Now make up your own mind.here a person has 2.6 tires on a 25 mm rim, which means that no one uses it?
Thank you for your advice. I'm not looking for advice on what's good and what's bad. The user has a similar-sized rim, I turned to it. And you again advise me,24 is not 25 and both are not good for 2.6 You have been given tables to consult and opinions to follow or not. You have been given more than enough information and opinion. Now make up your own mind.

Not on 25 mm rims?! How odd.Ironically my Bulls eMTB came with 35mm rims and 2.8 tires and has worked fine in every single aspect I have used it for (now approaching 8k miles). I think Bulls knows more than many of the self-proclaimed experts here.
Has anyone suggested running 2.8 tires on a 25mm rim?Not on 25 mm rims?! How odd.
Maxxis explaining WT rims.
If anyone knows their off-road tyres, it is Maxxis.
Maxxis are the best off-road only tyres in the world. Both Maxxis and Schwalbe understand the technology. Johnny Watts are the best mixed-terrain tyres I have experienced, combining silence on road with good grip off-road (something Maxxis are not interested in). It does not matter what brand: the Wide Trail concept is universal throughout the industry (and both Maxxis and Schwalbe are tyre experts) -- but it was the Maxxis website that explained the WT rims.If you favor Maxxis over Schwalbe, why are you running JWs?
Or destroying the handling of a Giant FS eMTB by putting on a 75mm riser stem???Maxxis are the best off-road only tyres in the world. Both Maxxis and Schwalbe understand the technology.

(Of course, you can use, say, a toothbrush to comb your hair; nobody can forbid you doing that; an analogy to putting WT-profiled tyres onto traditional round tyre narrow rims).
Just over 61mm with calipers on sidewall to sidewall and about 63mm knobbly to knobbly on 27.5x2.6.you haven't been able to measure the width yet ?![]()
you my heroJust over 61mm with calipers on sidewall to sidewall and about 63mm knobbly to knobbly on 27.5x2.6.
27.5x2.6 front, 2.35 rear 24mm inner rim width. Mix of road, gravel, light trail no issues for about 5-600miles now. Improved comfort / suspension effect from the 2.6 and bike feels planted, stable compared to the 2.25 WTB trail boss's that were on originally bike would start to feel like it would weave / bar wobble at high downhill speeds.
That's a question best directed to Schwalbe..but my guess would be that the larger tire becomes more flexible and perhaps more vulnerable as a resultJust got a couple of tyres to experiment with (after i hopefully manage to fit larger mudguards/fenders), both Schwalbe: Johnny Watts 584-70 & Pickup 584-65.
Found out the Johnny Watts 584-65 is E-50 rated and the 584-70 is only E-25, anyone know why?
These will be going on my Alex MD-40 rims.
