Hi all, I have some of the new HED rim tape, thin black color stuff, that I've installed on some new Jet black wheels. I put a tire and latex tube on it, had it inflated for about a week, then ended up removing the tire, wheel still hadn't been ridden.
When looking at the tape, I see wrinkles all over, even though they weren't there when I put it on, and lots of buldges on the tube. Is something wrong here? I was very careful to pull the tape tight when installing! Is there a different type of cloth tape that is acceptable to use on HED wheels?
Oh, and pretty sure the wrinkles have nothing to do with the spoke holes, as they are much closer together than the spoke holes..

Thanks!
