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!

Yeah, on the other hand, if it's an Aussie and they're in the 15th year of their local drought, then it's probably a safe bet.
I've managed to ride my bike without dying with stupid clearances for the last x months.

Oh, I wouldn't run this setup for a race btw. It's obviously too close for comfort when you can't choose if you're riding on a given day or not.
hippy
My 650x50 is just rubbing the electrical tape on the inside of the fork 'now and then'.
