    22mm Rim with 21mm tyre

     There's any problem using a 21mm tubular on a 22mm rim or its better to use 22mm or 23mm tyre?

    bad aero juju there (if that's important for you / that wheel set) tire + wheel combo make a large difference to overall perfomance, every expert/windtunnel analysis I've read says to mathc them well (ie same size or slightly bigger.. think teardrop as a good reference!) go 22/23.

    I recalled reading this thread when I saw that Reynolds does not recommend using a 21mm tire on a Reynolds 22mm tubular rim as the tire may not adhere properly ... http://www.reynoldscycling.com/index.php?p_resource=support_faq
