The tyres are Conti GP5000 TLR 650b 32mm and were indeed a chore to fit on silver anodised 650b Velocity Quill tubeless-compatible rims. Three tyre levers and a tube were sacrificed in the process. I have some thin Kapton tape coming to replace the thicker Ritchey rim strips. Hopefully that will allow a repair in the field as and when the time comes…
