Great suggestions all round. Have the Pro aero vibe persuit and Zip SL70 XPLR on other builds and the FSA options are super interesting but going to park the idea for now. It's too much faff for a few degrees of flare.
And have seen the state of the Farans 650b tyres, it might be time for a change.
650b x 47c was the Arkose max, is it time to max out the new frames tyre real estate?
Thinking Mezcal 2.25 or Conti Race King 2.2 (rims are 25mm ID) but might struggle to find mudguards?
My Secan basically maxed out the space with 60mm guards for 650b. I managed to fit 47mm Gravelkings on a 30mm id rim, but the 50 mm cinturatos rubbed instantly. I reckon, as others said, that 47mm might be the best shot for some clearance
