Wow that's a poor execution of a joke that has already been done to death.
Even that downtube shit was more entertaining.

>>956035
shut up you bar-end

I like Velox cloth tape, stays where you put it. Nylon tape slips around and can work its way up onto the bead.

That's a nice thread OP.

What the difference between tubs and clinchers in terms of ride?

the T one has more of a "sizzling" sound to it when getting a puncture protective speed limit penalty in the evening,if possible.

I just use electrical tape

OMG That will overheat the bottom tube when cornering at above 2000 ft!

Please use maxxis rim tape over 2000 ft! jeez

mate this isnt your animu we dont read things backwards

Are you not activating your rim tape before you install it? This eliminates all tape overheating issues.

Velox is too thick (and wide) in my opinion. Had to take a stanley knife to mine to get the tyre to seat.

>>956097
Rim tape is the single most important part on your bike,so yes.

>>956042
On a road bike?
When properly inflated a rom strip wont budge, EVER

>>956209
not true my mini veli is a road frame with bmx rims laced to "fixie: flip flop road hubs and has rim strips that slide up onto the bead

Same as LEDs in my PC. Only use red to make it faster.

>>956260

I use orange for maneuverability.

>>956036

No. Why do you ask?

>>956716
It works, therefore it sucks.

>>956782
Heavy, doesn't last too long, ideally only suited for poor fags and steel wheel bikes or entry level wheels.


Veloplugs are the way to go

Do you ever run into issues with the plugs bottoming out on the nipple on really shallow rims?

>>956818
>Doesn't last long
