Just because people have used cloth rim tape or plastic rim strips without failure doesn't mean they are just as solid solutions as rim tape.


Hmm, no idea why..



You have:

Cloth Rim Tape - one circular piece of cloth that you put around the rim. It snaps in place
Plastic Rim Strips - one circular piece of plastic that you put around the rim. It snaps in place
Plastic Rim Tape, Aka Rim Tape, Aka Tubeless Rim Tape, Aka Stans - an adhesive piece of tape that you wrap around the rim. It is not circular. It does not snap into place.
Velox Rim Tape - an adhesive piece of cloth based rim tape. It is not circular. It does not snap into place. It is heavier and thicker than Stans. The later makes mounting tires on new-age wide rims even harder.

I hope that helps clear up any confusion.
