Experiences of rim/tyre combo

[petemaz]

Has anyone tried this with success? I've got a 700x50 Panaracer Gravel King tyre, and a mate is giving me a CX front wheel with a 17mm internal diameter. What's the chances of them staying together??? Oh and it's also a thru axel, when I have QR... Anyone use one of those adapter thingies?
Cheers

No probs I've run 45's on a narrower rim than that so it'll be fine.

I've used the Lixada TA/QR adapters you can get on Amazon. Not ridden them extensively but they were easy to fit and work just fine, i.e. you forget about them
