Why you
need to buy Pacenti ? The wide rims, this in combination with 2,2 or 2,4
tires... really nice during the trail riding. As you can see on the picture
there is a big difference between a B.O.R, Mavic, ZTR rim and a Pacenti rim.

mount the tire you see that you have more tire by using a Pacenti rim. This
gives you more stability and more grip.
