Increasing Rim Widths On A Budget.
Hi Gang.
I was reading the reviews singing the praises of 28c tyre widths and the comments about them performing best on the lastest wider rims.
I was wondering if these latest rim widths are available on the mass market wheels (like Aksiums, Fulcrum 7s and Shim 105s) that most of us amateurs can afford.

I have a pair and they've performed well, surviving several months of commuting
Fulcrum R7 xc comes in 23mm wide rims in the 2016 edition. that should give an extra edge (on a budget)
