Easy to setup? I used Tesa but it was hard to get smooth, not sticky like gorilla tape, and probably too wide in my case.

I used normal plastic rim tape plus a couple of passes of electrical tape. Then installed a couple of these http://skinnystripper.com pushing them into the bed. Valve in, a spritz of water to help the tyre glide over the latex and into the rim, tires on and inflated with a track pump. It’s worth noting I had the tires on the wheels with tubes inflated to maximum pressure for five days prior to installation to push out any kinks in the bead.

Last update on using skinnystrippers on open pros with gravelkings. This really is an incredible solution. The latex liners bond with the bead of the tires forming a proto-tubular setup on a clincher rim. I am able to totally deflate this setup and reinflate with a hand pump. I’m properly impressed. Bo selecta.
