Oh -sorry if my posts come across as argumentative - not my intent. You're correct that in practice I am not likely to ever run anything narrower than 28mm on my own 23mm i.d. hookless rims, so it's a non-factor for me. I mostly just want to try to understand the limitations and technology involved.
