Enve 7.8 on felt ia 16
Quote | Reply
Hi guys,
I am looking to buy some race rims and I was looking for enve 7.8. I have a felt IA 16 2017, I am aware that I can use only 23mm tires on my bike but does anyone know if the rim will fit in the frame and also if the breaks widen enough without rubbing? I’ve tried to look and specs on line but I cannot find anything about it.
Thank you

I was running 25mm GP4K2 tires on my IA16 for a while with no issues. Those are practically fat bike tires. I am currently running a GP5K in back on a Jet + rim, which is about as wide as it gets. No issues. I am pretty sure you can run a 25 all day long on an IA, and you could probably run a 28.

Thank you for your reply.
I am actually looking if the width of the rim will fit in the frame and brakes, not too worried about tires size

The frame wouldn’t have a problem on rim width. It is plenty wide. I don’t know bout the stock brakes... I replaced both of mine with tririg brakes. But, I don’t remember any width issues before I swapped them out.
