Rim Tape for Zipp Latex Clincher setup?
Quote | Reply
Hi,
I have new Zipp wheels (404/808) that are tubeless ready but I am going to run latex tubes in them. There are no spoke holes and the wheels seem very smooth where the tube will go. Do I still need to use rim tape? If so, suggestions on brand? Width?
Thank you!

Are you saying that your wheels already have tubeless tape installed?

The tape is already installed.

One more question.
Will a Continental GP5000 tire (25) work on that wheel?

Any clincher or tubeless tire will work.

Those rims are tubeless hooked rims. As Jim mentioned, you can use almost any clincher tire on that rim. It's the tubeless hookless rims that need special tires (with very tight tolerances). Currently Conti makes a tubed and a tubeless 5000, but not one for hookless tubeless (yet).
