    Aluminium DIY magic

    Ah.. I see. I would need to completely rebuild it but for now the aluminum sheet as it is, is really strongly attached. It's 1.5mm aluminium and even with my mobile on it it doesn't move at all.

    Tyre issue

    I wasn't sure what would be the issue but the rim tape may have been the trouble maker. I decided to completely remove the rim tape and pump air directly on it... and it works!! I'm going to make a bigger hole on the rim tape and follow all your instructions and gnrtlr ones :) Thank you...
