Continental Conti Motorcycle Rim Tape - 16'' / 17'' x 23mm

The primary function of motorcycle rim tape is to protect the inner tube from being punctured or abraded by the ends of the spokes inside a spoked wheel rim.

No, this rim tape is designed specifically for spoked wheels that require an inner tube. It is not suitable for tubeless or cast wheel applications.

Yes, the tape is made from sturdy rubber construction, designed for longevity and to withstand the stresses within a motorcycle wheel.

Verify the rim tape is the correct size and fully covers all spoke ends. Check for any sharp edges on the rim or spoke nipples that the tape may not be covering. Ensure the tape is not twisted or bunched up.

Ensure you have selected the correct diameter and width for your rim. The tape should fit snugly without significant stretching. If too loose, it may shift; if too tight, it may be difficult to install or could damage the rim.

Ensure the rim is clean and free of debris. If the tape is stiff, it may be warmer. Try to lay it in place without forcing it; excessive stretching can damage the tape.
