Just installed 28mm Pro-ones on DT Swiss R460 db, using DT's valve and tape, seeing as they test their stuff together thought it would be a fairly safe bet.
First tyre I inflated with an inner tube first to get it seated, then removed innertube and re-inflated. Second one I didn't bother putting the tube in first. Both inflated and held air without sealant, using my home-made 1.5l soda bottle inflator at 50psi.
Put 15ml of sealant in each, although reading around, that seems a bit low according to recommendations, so I'll ride them around a bit, check for trueness in my wheels, and maybe add a bit more sealant.
All in all, fairly painless, apart from trying to get the tyre on with a tube in. Had to resort to the levers for that. Fingers crossed they hold air overnight!
