My 650x50 is just rubbing the electrical tape on the inside of the fork 'now and then'.
So, if you're only riding in the dry then tight clearances aren't always an issue.

Just realised that is quite a gamble for a multiday ultra event in a foreign country with the weather becoming more and more unpredictable. I mean, if you get caught out with a bit of rain and all of the dust becomes instant clay, you'd struggle to walk that bike!

I had this with my old arkose fork and 650x47.
But that's on the sides, and not where all the stuff gets dragged in and out nonstop and pushed against the wheel. At least thats my theory. Also those forks where cheap.

c.h.e.
With that clearance you have to change your heli tape after every ride?
Unless there is a built in seat tube protector.
Would be quite funny to gravel sand a hole in your budget friendly aero adventure bike.
