More questions:
Is it possible to use too much rim tape? Got 4 layers on at the moment and it's still not quite seating properly, though my first two layers might have been too narrow.
If you need to use a boot, how in the name of god are you going to reseat the tyre out on the road? I am just barely managing with a track pump.
PS. No pingy snappy noise when I blast them with the track pump. Is that bad? These are bodgy non-tubeless rims - ghetto tubeless or whatever you want to call it.
