Customary wheel size appellations get a pass because they long precede ISO and ETRTO designations. Use the new terms if they're useful, but the old terms have standing. Chalo When there is a rational and consistent system available (i.e. ISO), the old and confusing nomenclature should be dropped from new products. "28-inch" can be either ISO 622-mm or ISO 635-mm, which is not helpful. "28-inch" for ISO 622-mm is stupid, since it is a smaller diameter than the "27-inch" ISO 630-mm. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

I dont want a generalisation, just one example. *I've had my doubts about them but not for that reason, it seems irellevant to me because my tyres don't peel off ;-) so I'd like to know what temperature will break down a plastic rim tape? Higher than the temperature that turns tubie glue back into chewed gum. Chalo I dont know what temperature you mean, mine doesn't do that. |

28" WHAT ? 28" (x 1 3/4") being the original tubular size. I've never seen the 1 3/4" designation on a tyre only the actual tyre carcass x-section which is always in mm today. In normal tyre parlance a typical racing tyre would be 28" x 1.3/4" x 7/8" bu tyou will see a 28" called a 22mm :-) |

The plastic strips have been by far the best product in my experience. The rubber strips, not so much--and they're designed for single wall rims, anyway. Can't stand cotton tape--the adhesive is either too strong or non-existent. I'd rather use packing tape or three winds of electrical tape. I've had plastic strips (Michelin) turn brittle and fail, but have never had a problem with Velox or similar cloth tape. Maybe the plastic is OK in cooler climates than Phoenix. Dave Lehnen |

Nashville's pretty brutal in the summer as well. But I easily pulled off some OEM strips off a wheelset to use on set I'd built. Probably three years of exposure to heat and cold. As new. |

My impression is that Planet Wherever is a cold, rainy place where people can't even ride fast because their loose-spoked wheels will fold. If you don't have to worry about tubie glue softening, then you really don't have to worry about rim strips softening; that's all. Chalo |

Chalo But maybe that's because I have magic sprint rims, the magic is a little thinner with my high pressure wheels and I don't use tub glue of them so I dont know wether a plastic rim tape would disintergrate, would this happen before or after my tyre jumped off it's seating through overheating? |

As my front open pro based wheel was built I have just discovered that none of the local shops has 28" rim tape! Aside from the rubbery hideosity that one shop had. At least the clerk was straightforward telling me it won't work with high pressure road tubes. Makes me wonder how much people pump into touring tires. Anyhow, the 26" rim tape i looked at out of curiosity is a continuous circle of plastic with no sign of adhesive on the rim side. Since I got used to the adhesive type of the rim tape and i assume the local shops would sell the same plastiky packing straps like contraption when they get it in 28" variety i've got to ask what should I expect from it? as good as the rim tape with adhesive or not? tnx Any decent bike shop has bulk Velox in 17mm or rolls for sale. The fact that none of the LBS around you speaks volumes about your bike shops specifically and bike shop poorness in general. |
