..well almost too tall. Just installed on Hed rims, the Secteur tubeless tires clear the 3t fork (on a Cervelo RS) by a mm or less. the width is fine, it's the height that is so very very close to rubbing.

I'm curious if others have had similar experience with other brands of forks??

The HED rim it is on is wide, my Campy Eurus wheels may be ever so slightly wider and i'm tempted to try the tires on a a wider rim so see if that provides for better clearence.

Love the idea of 28mm tubeless, great for gravel our rough rural roads, just surprised at the oh so close fit.

I'm assuming that as long as there is no rub..it's fine. If someone knows otherwise please speak up.

First ride on these tires...they are great, even with the larger volume of 28mm they feel lively. but on the front tire, it rubs on the fork if the psi is greater than 90psi. at least on my fork which is a 3t. at 90psi or less there is just a hair of clearence between the tire and fork.
