Would the i19's be the equivalent to Arch EX's or Crests...? If the i23's are the equivalent of Flow EX's.

The i23 have an inner bead width of 23mm...... a direct competitor of the Flow at 22.5mm. The i19 has an inner bead width of 19mm...... that is the same as the crest and arch. The crest is lightweight and more prone to going out of true. The arch is stronger and a bit heavier. The archEX is at 21mm so it falls between the i19 and i23 that is weight and strength. The flow EX is wider at 25mm and more suited to gravity style riding. So I would go i19 for cross country and marathon....... and i23 for trail or all mountain
