They have 25 mm GP5000TL running tubeless. They have reinflated without loosing the bead. I drop the pressure to around 20 PSI when they fly.
Mine is a 60 cm frame. It just barely fits in a Ritchey soft case with the original cloth protectors on the frame. I put the whole Shebang in the case. Including the tools I need to assemble it.
It has a 120 cm stem, 175 cranks, but they are Campagnolo so one bolt and they come off. The bars are Fizik Cyrano Snake 46 cm. Saddle is also a Fizik Snake 140 mm wide. Pedals are Shimano SPD. I use the MTB pedals because I wanted walkable shoes.
The shoes go in the case, along with a couple sets of riding kit, but I carry my helmet.
My memory says there are wheels on the case, but I would have to get it down from the garage attic to be sure. If I sprang for an S&S case it might not get as beat up.
I have a Co-Motion case, to carry a 58 cm S&S coupled bike. The tires have to be completely deflated, or better yet, removed. Weight becomes an issue if I try to include too many extra tools and such. I kinda remember putting the helmet in there at least once. The case has wheels and a nice spring-loaded handle for pulling it.
