If a 25 mm tire has 5% less rolling resistance over 23mm tire then a 47 mm tire must have like 45-50% less rolling resistance over a 28 mm tire!
Yes. On terrain that requires an equal percentage of suspension-to-volume as the 23mm tyre (I think).

Good read but kinda irrelevant.
Yes, lower trail is probably what makes the 700c to 650b conversions feel more lively.
Was also a good point about going tubeless, probably some precious grams saved there!
Let’s move on.
