Pretty sure I've done 2.5s on 17mm. I'm sort of unexploded

Yeah I've done that before too. But this is kind of the other way around, wide rims and narrow (normal?) tyres, and adding tubeless to the mix.
D'oh, it's actually OD30mm so should be right to run 2.25s comfortably. Stayin alive.

All it does with a narrower tyre is push the tread further down and possibly leave sidewall susceptible to a rock slice.
I ran a set of 2.4 x 29 Ardents on my 29+ Nextie 52mm Jungle Fox rims for a ride or two... they were ridiculous. Sidewall was all I could see with all the tread on the bottom, nearly a square profile.
I mounted 4" tyres on a 30mm outside rim for shits and mostly shits. It was fine. Rolled like a weirdo thing because of the low pressures but didn't roll off the rim.

That was basically my idea. The older 2.4 Ardents (old Ardent decal) were a massive bag tyre and while I expected they would be too small, they were ridiculously small. Original thought was they would be a faster tyre than the 3.0 Maxxis Chronicles.
Should have a picture here somewhere.

I'm assuming MTB.... Theoretically the pull ratios are different, but if they are there's stuff-all in it. You may lose a little bit of shift crispness but it works.
If talking road then it's a different story; for the most part the pull ratios are way out so don't work. The exception is current-series (4700) Tiagra which has more in common with the 11-sp. family than it has with other 10-sp.

Used their outer gear cable before without any issues, but not sure on the hose...
Anything aftermarket hose wise I've used had been Uberbike. No issues there. The kit comes with reusable fittings as well, never had a leak over 5 bikes I've installed them on. 4 Shimano brakes and 1 TRP.
