Measuring rim width
This sounds like a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. How do I properly measure the width of my rims? If, for example, I take a set of calipers and measure the width of the outer edges of the rim where it meets the tire, will a 4.5" rim measure (approximately) 4.5" inches? Or will it measure closer to 5.5"?
The reason I ask is, I'm running laced rims on my Low Rider, which were switched in place of the mags at the dealer just before I bought the bike. The rear laced wheel's outer edges are definitely more than 4.5" apart.
