Do I need rim tape for a Zipp 404 clincher? Seems the edges of the spoke holes are quite rough. Am I too paranoid?
I would suggest that you use rim tape for most wheels. If the edges of the spoke holes are rough, then you should absolutely use rim tape.
Do the instructions indicate that rim tape is not needed?

If there are spoke holes, you need (good quality) rim tape.
