I was thinking about doing the partial inflation. But then I realized I could actually tuck it down even further away from the rim if I didn’t do anything. What I did is I went around with my fingers the second time and pushed it way down to the other side. So it wasn’t anywhere near the rim side where I was using the spoons on the second assembly.
I think I like the double rim strip also. Some tape, maybe the gorilla tape, and then the standard rubber rim strip. Seems really robust.
