50mm? bro do u even aero? And even if they were less likely to puncture, they could still puncture and then you're still fucked compared to running tubulars.
hippy-
i mean there isn't much aero benefit when you are above 1.05 of rim width right? these guys are already running 28 or 30mm tubs on rims designed for 23 or 25mm tires.
idk i'd guess they were much less likely to puncture. i've only rarely had tubeless punctures that didn't retain a rideable amount of pressure. seems like not having the tire come off the rim is a pretty low standard. with 50mm you wouldn't be bottoming out at all.

i mean wouldn't much larger tubeless tires be the real winner here? i bet a 650b 50mm tire would be considerably faster than what they run.
