Oh yeah, the TPU will always be smaller than comparable butyl. I didn’t mean to freak you out about the repacking thing, I was just thinking about how floppy and light my used Aerothan are, so what I did was go roll up my old 35c Aerothan and took some pics of frsh-out-the-box 28-30c Aerothan and 20-28c Specialized butyl (all 700c).
