FAQs

What size rim do these tapes fit?

These rim tapes are designed for 700c wheels.

How do I know if they will fit my rims?

Check your rim's internal width. The 16mm tape is designed for rims of a compatible width.

How often should I replace the rim tape?

Inspect the rim tape during tire changes. Replace if it shows signs of wear, damage, or cracking.

Can I use these rim tapes with tubeless tires?

These rim tapes are not specifically designed for tubeless setups. They are intended for use with inner tubes.

Is it difficult to install?

No, installation is relatively straightforward. Just clean the rim, center the tape, and ensure it covers all spoke holes.

Do I need to use any adhesive?

No, the tape should stay in place due to its fit within the rim channel and the pressure of the tire.

What is the pack quantity?

The pack contains two rim tapes.

Troubleshooting

Rim tape shifts during tire installation.

Ensure the tape is properly seated in the rim channel and the edges are tucked in.

Puncture occurs despite rim tape.

Inspect the tire for sharp objects and ensure the tape is correctly installed and not damaged.
