i just got a pair of atlantas and have been doing some research on what tires to get for them. just curious what tires anyone else is running with and if they had any trouble putting 23c tires on them as i've seen on a couple forums saying how that might be too tight. thanks for your help guys. -

Atlanta
This is the top of the line wind cheater from Campy. The rim weight is a hefty 590 grams. The width if the rim is a thin 19mm and the aero depth is 34mm. This rim is targeted for the time trial or lone rider that is willing to run a skinny sub 23mm tire. You can run any tire you like, but a 20 or 19mm tire will not leave the rim peaking out to plow through the wind like a wider rim. If you are riding as a single for timed events this may be your rim. The draw backs are the cross wind characteristics are not very good and the ride can be harsh with narrow tires. The benefits are lower wind drag. The rims comes in a single color which is a high polished aluminum with HPW side walls.
It seems that sub 23mm tires are recommended to be aero, but will a 700x23 tire work?
I only commute/velodrome and don't do tricks.
