Product Information

Full details

The Bike-It 18-inch rim tape is an essential maintenance component designed for motorcycle and motocross riders looking to protect their inner tubes from puncture-causing friction against internal rim surfaces and spoke nipples. By providing a durable barrier, this tape significantly improves the longevity of your tire setup; however, users must ensure they have verified their wheel diameter specifically for 18-inch compatibility before installation to avoid improper seating.

FAQs

Can I use this on a 17-inch wheel?

No, this specific model is designed for 18-inch wheels and will not provide a secure or safe fit for other sizes.

Does this tape come with adhesive?

These tapes are typically held in place by the pressure of the inflated inner tube against the rim bed.

Is this suitable for tubeless tires?

No, this rim tape is intended specifically for tubed-tire applications to protect the inner tube.

How often should I replace my rim tape?

It is best practice to inspect the tape every time the tire is removed and replace it if it shows signs of wear, brittleness, or damage.

Will this work for street motorcycles?

Yes, this tape is suitable for both road and off-road motorcycle applications as long as the wheel is 18 inches in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Inner tube keeps getting punctured

Inspect the rim tape for tears or misalignment and ensure it fully covers all spoke nipples.

Rim tape sliding out of place

Clean the rim bed with a degreaser to remove oily residue before applying the new tape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, fully deflate and remove the tire from the rim. Remove any old or damaged rim tape and clean the rim bed thoroughly to remove debris or metal shavings.

For care, keep the tape away from harsh chemical solvents when cleaning the rim, and always replace the tape if you notice signs of tearing or thinning.
