I've got a new pair of Zipp 404's (clincher) that are going to Hawaii. Which rim strip do use use on your clinchers? The techs at ZIPP recommended something thin and light.

I think you're asking for trouble going with a rim strip that's too light/thin in order to save a couple of grams. I'd go with Velox. Punctures from poor quality rim strips are both annoying and tough to diagnose- and on race wheels this can only spell disaster.

I just bought a pair of 404 in clincher's also, I had the bike skope throw some tires on so I am not sure what they did for tape? Anyways great choice for wheels......

Forget the rim strips altogether and go Tufo Tubular Clincher. Barring a tire system change, I'd go Velox rim strips.

Continental rim strips (actually a type of "scotch") is both very lightweight and protecting - made for Supersonic tires and tubes (high prssure, ultra thin tubes).
For my money, velox is the only rim strip to use.

For ANY money Velox is the only strip to ride
