Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Those are shockingly bad rims to pair with such nice hubs. Looks fun, though!

28c tubeless and flexy rims for comfort on a comfort bike seems legit to me

I've taken my carbon Synapse on plenty of gravel with 28s on her - she does really well. I wouldn't worry too much.
