My triathlon bike is a Felt IA with rim brakes and latex tubes. To make a meaningful upgrade, I would have to jump to a modern TT bike with disc brakes. I am not there yet, but I cannot deny the dramatically superior ride I would get with 28mm tubeless on the latest carbon wheels.I am no Marcag, but I think most of us already agree that 28mm is the sweet spot for the rear tire - my issue is the front wheel on a Tri, or even more specifically, a TT bike.
For example, the GCN video comparing tire width vs speed that concluded there is statistically no difference, but they had a max speed of 23.6mph - pretty slow even by my 77 year old standards. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK5KLvrzrb4"
Again, I remain unconvinced for the front wheel.
