The Pinnacle CX has a 29mm wide rim with a 32mm radius for a rim bed, larger cyclocross tires fit perfectly and receive edge to edge gluing for a more secure adhesion. This allows you to run lower pressure without fear of rolling a tire off the rim. In cyclocross a tubular tire is still a distinct advantage.
