Besides tires and tubes, the High-Pressure Rim Tape is the third most important factor for puncture protection. The rim tape effectively protects the tube against mechanical damage, for example from spoke heads and metal burrs around the spoke holes.
Available in various sizes.
An appropriate rim tape must completely and securely cover all spoke holes. Hollow section rims require the use of special rim tapes such as Schwalbe High Pressure or Schwalbe High-Pressure fabric rim tape. Rubber rim tapes are not suitable for hollow section rims, because the inflated tube pushes them into the holes.
The rim tape must cover the entire rim base. If the rim tape is narrower than the rim base it can slide and expose the spoke holes.
Alternatively, an adhesive, fabric or tubeless rim tape can be used on all rims. Slipping cannot occur due to the heat resistant glue. The 18 mm wide tape should definitely be used for racing bicycle rims (13C, 14C). The 15 mm tape is recommended only for rims with a relatively wide drop-centre which offers a contact area next to the spoke holes which are wide enough for the tape.
