That kind of accuracy at home would be tough. ... (post shortened)
I'll leave this to someone else. My Vittoria tires mount easily on my non-tubeless ready Open Pros and when those rims expire, I'm going back to tubulars.
This is a very good idea, I'm sorry I missed it earlier. I was going to roll it on a sheet of paper on a floor. I have a whole stable of rims to try going back to Mavics like yours, but I think the jury rigged caliper you suggest would at least get the differences between rim diameters.
I hear you about the tubulars. I used to use those too.
Cheers,
Jon.
