RIM TAPE VELOX 10mm NARROW #56 Review

After a long hiatus away for cycling, 6 months ago I rediscovered cycling... I've sorta gone bike crazy as I bought about a dozen bikes in the last 3-4 months. Mostly road bikes but a few MTB's as well. Back in the 80's they didn't have these cloth tapes, just the rubber strips like motorcycle rim strips. But the rubber strips don't work very well on bicycles which translates into lots of flats. At the various LBS, they want $10 each! Come'on LBS, don't force us to buy online! Even buying them online is expensive because of the s/h, but... these cloth rim tapes will probably last 20 years.

The 10mm strip is perfect size for my 27" and 700c road bike wheels. Velox also sells a 3/8" which is the same size as this 10mm and of course also works great for road bikes. I've tried the Sette 12mm rim strips which are pretty good quality, but they are 2mm wider and I have to be VERY careful installing them. The Sette also uses a removable paper backing on the adhesive whereas the Velox doesn't and so the Velox is faster and easier to install. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the tire might not properly seat on the rim. I just bought a couple of Zefal 10mm tapes to try out so I can't comment on them yet excepting they look very much like the Velox and I expect them to perform about the same.

I prefer Velox tapes and I think they are the best of the bunch. However, all of the other cloth/fabric tapes I've tried are all acceptable... So, I don't have a problem buying any of the fabric tapes, so I buy the ones that are the best price but I'm willing to pay up to 50 cents more for the Velox. Only the cheap rubber band strips I would not recommend.

Don't buy tapes that are for MTB's for road bikes and vice versa. Be sure you get the right size for your rims. Use the wide tape for MTB's and these thin ones for for your road bikes. I've replaced so many tires/tubes/tapes from all the bikes I recently bought and most of them I had to replace the tape when I replace/repair a tube/tire. The rim tapes are not the place to go cheap, even if you plan to flip a bike.
