Hi
Can a 2.35 tyre fit onto a Jalco AX340 front wheel? My current one is a 2.1.

Thanks
Marin

    I'm not familiar with the rim, but it shouldn't be a problem, even narrow XC rims can usually accommodate a 2.35 without major fuss.

    Do check your fork manufaturer's guide to make sure it can take it though, you don't want to find out that the tyre is too tall and catches the fork crown at full compression while you're riding. That would be bad.

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day
