Apologies, my friend.
I'm not totally witless. I did a lot of reading. People have tried Tape with using Tubeful (LOL) tires with various Clincher rims. A few succeeded but many have found they have found that they shift and they damage the Presta Valve... That would be scary at 50 mph.

What made me stop that was that those rims were so deep that the wheels became very prone to flats, not enough air chamber visible.
This is one of the most massively stupid ideas I've ever heard of.
