I usually wrap a couple of layers of electrical insulation tape around the rim before fitting the rim tape. Just as a bit of insurance against the rim tape moving due to the tyre bead movement over uneven roads or trails. Probably a bit belt & braces but it gives me peace of mind and not yet had a puncture due to spoke protrusion into the tube.
Everything has been at a standstill this year, I'm afraid. Family stuff, plus illness and taking a while to properly recover and get back on track. I am on the mend though, thank you. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible 👍🙂

I used to do that with BMXs back in the 80s, some of my tubes back then had more patches that tube, and the wheels were never straight lol
Where is the completion of this project?? Want to see the painting and the assembly.
Thanks for your question. Due to illness and family issues the project has stalled, but hopefully I will be able to continue as soon as possible
Hope you are well as I don't see any more Moulton videos after this one. I hope you didn't powder coat the frame but got it painted instead.
