This.
No more ‘cold sweats’ is right. The Tire Jack just makes that apprehension go away.
My bugaboo combo, at least in the old pre-tubeless days, was Campy wheels (like Neutrons or the older version Nucleons) with brand new Vittoria clinchers. Back then Campy’s rims seemed to be a mm or two larger than pretty much anyone else.
Then again, maybe they were just ahead of the game, setting up their tooling for road tubeless...
