The rim in question. External 25 internal 17.9. I guess this is the narrowest out of the modern rims..?
Tire in question is Conti GP5000. Luckily these come in 23 and 25mm.
I think best is to put some spare wheels and brake calipers on and do the measurements...was hoping someone could confirm so I could maybe go ahead and order the wheels whilst away for 2 weeks

I'm seeing these come up for sale but it's either the price is out of reach (a lot in Japan), or the logistics could be a faff (UK/USA). Non HM variants are plenty with some full bikes being sold for what I'd consider very cheap.
Like this one:

I've enquired re the wheels for sale from ghostface, but considering I'm in EU not UK anymore the logistics might turn out a right pain.
Checked their website quickly and their R35 based full wheelset with the fancy brake track comes in 1411gram and 611 USD. R45 based wheels come at 1482g and 646. Both calculated with CX ray spokes and Novatec hubs. Sounds like a decent deal considering were talking rim brakes where it's IMO hard to measure the actual "life left" on second hand options...
This also might be the only new/expensive part on the whole bike so gotta have a think..Talking tire clearances my mate has a similar SS Evo and he runs 25s no bother? Can anyone share their knowledge on the subj?
Hey, these are the very same rims I'm after. Some pictures would be nice if you have a moment to spare. Thanks
