My front tri spoke I used for TT's has a 19c on it for aero. Thing scared me looking down at it after all this time riding fat tires hahaha
Any disadvantage to the 28s on the road? Don't think I want to try tubeless yet but I'm pretty sure my road bikes will both fit 28s. I had a bike that wouldn't fit 25s.
I like the 2.8s on the mtb but they are definitely slower on climbs, I only run 15psi on the front.
