I'm not sure if this is advisable or not lol. This is a used tire I got locally to test. The tire is a 53mm but measure with the calipers to 54mm.

How’s it look at the chain stay?
Bottom bracket is almost always the tight point, so we’d need to see those photos.
That being said I would feel pretty comfortable with close margins on a TI build. I wouldn’t worry too much about mud/dirt scraping my TI frame like I would with a carbon frame. But curious what others think on that.
I had some 55mm Rene Herse Fleecer Ridges on mine for a gravel event and to see if I could. Tight, but worked great. Im running Ultradynamico Bruts now (700×53) and they fit jusssst right for everything.
Too tight for me but if you’re doing some dry deserty stuff, you could send it. I’d probably run 50 but I often encounter mud and even with my Ti frame, I don’t need it getting all up in there and being a pain.

Send it! I’m running 2.2″ Dubnitals on mine
I have seen tires rub through steel when there wasn’t enough clearance for mud. Is the 4-6mm worth potentially ruining the frame? How heavy are you?
