Also interested, although the decathlon website shows M as 54?

Thanks James, I have 82mm also. I originally got Vittoria Pista which are quite thick and come folded which leaves a slight bump even after pre-stretching). Glued them on with tubasti that I find to be like toothpaste(first time gluing). I did think maybe the glue was thicker in one area but I did a decent job and it shouldn't stick out that much.
When I got a flat in the back tyre I replaced it with a Pista Evo CS which is a lot thinner (no more riding outside) and comes loosely wrapped (no folding bumps). I used Vittoria Mastik One which goes on nice and thin.
fabric tape sits equal all the way around and there is no side play in the fit, there is more tape showing around the valve though as it sits a little higher. the ridge on the seam at the base of the tyre doesn't help, but I guess it must be down to the valve hole, can't remember what this looked like on my old tubular wheels.
I still got the bump as before but a lot less pronounced, as I'm now replacing the front I was hoping there might be a trick to getting it smoother tyre.
had no issues with previous road tyre tubulars (Tufo + tape), I don't notice it all that much on the track but on the rollers it is noticeable.

I can't get my tubs to sit flat on my px wheels. I noticed they're not completely round anyhow but still a little proud at the valve.
Not too sure if widening valve hole on carbon is good idea, just as unsure about trying to trim off tape.
Not massively out or too noticeable but would like the best fit before committing with glue. Any suggestions beyond riding on a broomstick?
Thanks

Elite rollers for £70 on wiggle

the battery was new sealed in plastic, I don't have a spare one it's not the standard button cell it's like a half heigh AAA. They were great at responding
And yeah, I was pretty miffed by this pointless theft, took me a while to slow down and turn back by which time it was gone, couldn't quite believe it at first
