THE OPTIMAL RIM FOR SCHWALBE TUBELESS RACING BIKE TIRES
For safety and performance, the tire and rim on a road bike must be perfectly matched. This applies all the more to tubeless racing cycle tires. In addition to the classic hooked rims (crotched type), so-called "hookless" rims (straight side) are becoming increasingly popular in the racing bike segment. For safe operation, "hookless" rims in particular place high demands on racing cycle tyres. The models Schwalbe One TLE and Schwalbe Pro One TLE (from model year 2020) are designed to meet these special requirements, especially in the bead core area, and are therefore basically compatible.
Note:
The wheel’s shoulder diameter is the diameter as measured from shoulder to shoulder. This corresponds with the ETRTO number after the hyphen. In the case of Schwalbe road racing tires, for example, it is 28-622.
Inch | ETRTO | Shoulder diameter | Flank |
| 28'' | 622 | 621.95 +/- 0.5 | 5.5 +/- 0.5 |
These values apply to all rims, whether they are tubeless, normal, crotched type or hookless rims. To guarantee a safe fit, it is generally important that the minimum flank height does not exceed 5.0mm. For tubeless tires, the shoulder diameter should be in the positive range of the authorized tolerance.
