I ordered the wide SIP rims 2.50 in error, standard is 2.10. Question is will this rim [fitted with 3.50 x 10 SIP tyre] fit a PX without any issues?

martin, I think SIP rims are 2.50x10 (Cosa rim size) they fit no probs , but certain tyres may rub on the clutch cover on the rear. I run schwalbe raceman on the back and its fine on a SIP rim.

The 2:50 will give a very small off set , if both rims are the same front and rear I see no problem. I know a lot of Germans do this, but just one on its own may give a strange feel to riding.

I run 2.10 on front and 2.50 on rear with 3.50x10 tyres on most of my P Ranges. No problems and get around 4000 miles to a rear tyre compared to about 3000 with the narrower wheel.
