@Howard borrowed a proper inflator. Tyre bead doesn't seem to lock into the hook on the rim, two layers of Gorilla tape is so thick that the hook is barely present. I will swap the valves for something else though.
@Colonel_of_Truth the 29mm tape is for a different wheelset that I wanted to do tomorrow. I can just use Gorilla tape again but as you can see I've not had a great experience with after attempting 2 or 3 rim/tyre combos over the last few months and all of them failing to go up
I might have to try with soapy water I suppose
