    UPDATE: I read Sheldon Browns site posted above, and what I cannot figure out is what is the inner rim measurement of my wheel? I do not want to remove the tire & tube and measure it, which I would have to to do in order to use his chart. Are there numbers which I have provided above which will tell me the width of the rim?

    Thanks.

    Nope, and I don't know of any way to estimate inner rim width from outer rim width since the actual wall thickness would have an effect.

    I guess it's possible that model designation "DA16" refers in some way to the rim width, but I don't know enough about Alex's nomenclature to make a guess. Maybe Google the rim model and see if you can find better specs?

    Here's a page with the specs on the Alex wheel for 700c:
