Hi All,
Struggling to find a rim brake, tubeless ready, carbon rim (40 to 50mm) to fit the narrow chainstay (about 30mm at there narrowist point) on my old tramac SL2. Had some 404's but they rubbed the stays on climbs, ran fine on the flats. Current Alloy rims are 24mm wide at the brake track running GP5000TL.
After Rims only if possible to build to a set of WI T11 (24/28). Everything I look at are 26mm or larger or start at the top brake track around 25mm then do that tordinal thing and end up 28mm in the middle.
If anyone has recently gone through the same process please let me know options, chinese or otherwise.
Cheers.

Thanks Matt, if these are the same ones you mentioned https://www.lightbicycle.com/45mm-deep- ... rface.html they were top of my list but was worried about the 27.3mm max width. Hoping with the 28hole rear lacing it shouldn't be an issue.

Those were not the AR56s you linked to. This is it: https://www.lightbicycle.com/700C-V-sha ... tible.html This is the model I have currently on my Tarmac.
FYI, the chainstay clearance as you've noted is very tight. Your wheels will need to be maintained and trued if they go out of spec or there is a possibility of chain stay rub. After a season of racing, my rear wheel is out of true, but not horribly, and still clears the chainstay.
