I hadn't thought about temperature...that will be something to keep an eye on. Thanks for that Sin!

I may not be big, but I'm slow.

Just to follow up, this is the tape I used, and one roll was sufficient with some left over:

Tires are holding air just fine. Will update if this changes.

Have ridden mostly fully loaded (the bike, not me😆), but finally riding luggage free the other night, it does seem to turn in much easier without the tubes. It may be just the Placebo Effect, but it seems like minor corrections mid turn to avoid potholes are really effortless now.

Small reduction in unsprung weight, perhaps even the casings are a bit more pliable perhaps, with so many factors involved it's rather subjective  :^_^ It'll be interesting see how the tyres last and what the wear pattern looks like

End of the day a good result  :thumbsup and one that gives you confidence and pleasure riding  :eusa_clap
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
