Hello CR List Members,

And what about rim with???, shouldn't wider tires require wider rims???

there are some Width Considerations in: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html , but...

What was usual/recommended in the past when 35mm or even 42mm tyres were more used???

aren't the currently available 20+ mm (with about 16mm inner witdth) rims too narrow for such a wide tires???
