another question regarding the sip tubeless rims is, they do 3 versions

so because im running an oversized tyre, im going to order the 3.00 - 10 wide rim, thats simple

but which do i order for my front wheel, as they have 2.10 - 10 and 2.50 -10,

they both state that they fit standard tyres, although the 2.50 - 10 rim is the one they claim sit slightly out of line, but given iv got a wide tyre on the back they will be slightly out of line anyway.

the other question thats crossing my mind is, do i go for the 2.10 as it fits 3.00 and 3.50 tyres only given that standard px tyres are 3.50

or do i go for the 2.50 rim, which fits standard px tyres as well as metric tyres such as the 100-90 - 10 etc, as im tempted to go for a metric tyre on the front so i can get a better speed rating for it.

hmmmm, what do you think? im thinking just go for the 2.50 rim so i can use either?

On two of my bikes, with wide rear rims, I run Cosa rims on the front (2.5)
Have had 2.1's on the front, but seem more stable with the Cosa rims.
