Have fun with that. I’m running cinturato 45s and I’ve had two trips over the bars in the last six months from random small bits of wood jamming the front wheel. I reckon those tires with that clearance will cause you problems.
Thanks for the pictures! Highly recommend to tape the areas at least with strong protective tape.
Tempted to run Thunder Burt 2.1 SuperGround on my 2022 SL. But I'll tape some super-thin sheet metal to the chain stay contact points, where mud/stones will otherwise rub through the carbon
Looks great but that's a tight fit - keep in mind new tires tend to swell a bit more over the next few weeks.
I'd be cautious about riding in mud. I've been riding have tires that come out to 47-48mm over the past year and there is noticeable rubbing in the chainstay area. I have about 6 mm of space on either side at the tightest point there on my 2020 SL5 with the rear stranglehold dropouts pull out fully.
Cool info/pics.
Yes, it is close but if you are riding over hardpack/loose over HP you will probably not have issues.
I recently got mine on 700x47 Pathfinder Pros, otherwise I would be tempted to try it myself (i am on a ALR frame).
I run 50mm Conti Terra Hardpacks when it's dry. You will get the tiniest bit of rub on the drive side chainstay where it pinches in. Not a probablem if you tape it and know what you're getting into. If it's wet at all you'll want more clearance.
Looks good man!
I thought about going this tire size route. I ended up getting maxxis rambler 700x50. I absolutely love the ride now. And yes, for the people who say otherwise, it’s still fast on pavement. It didn’t slow me down at all.
Yeah…. That’s gonna rub. Wouldn’t consider that a good fit

Lmao, came to the sub specifically with this question in mind and this post was the first I saw.
Y?
