I picked up some Roval Rapide rims. Installed some 25mm tires. Man that front rim is fat. The back one not so much. The tire looks way to thin. I know the new consensus is the tire should be less wide than the rim but man it looks funny.

What width front tires are people running on these rims

It’s the greatest whee I’ve ever ridden. It’s fast as an Enve 7 but handles better than my old Enve 5. I bought two, one came on my new Shiv (running 26mm Turbo Cotton) and another for my Venge (28mm TC). The Turbo Cotton tires are also unbelievable. Prodigious grip and near-tubular ride quality. No flats so far even hitting some light gravel.

I would run 28s on these...more aero and more bead protection. Front and rear are different width. Enjoy!
