Looking to find out overall diameter of Challenge Strade Bianche tyres on wide rims like Archetype. Need to know so I can suss out rear triangle dimensions on a custom carbon gravelesque bike.

I tried mounting these to archetype rims and oh my it was a struggle. I would not bother.

They mount easily to Velocity Aileron rims I would use those given you will no doubt have disc brakes.

Not intending to fit them to Archetypes specifically rather wide rims. Just need the overall diameter so I can figure out the stay length, bb drop & perhaps seat tube size. Trying for a similar set up to the Genesis Datum but without having to use a braze on front mech.
