This is the original and still the best rim strip out there.

I use this brand in all my wheels, road and MTB (two sizes available), and have been using it for decades. Other cloth tapes fail over the holes on double wall wheels where this protects the tube forever. The adhesive is fantastic. The cloth is thick. There is even a little extra length if you want to trim it to give equal thickness on both side of your air valve. I've tried others and this is the best.

Thank you for your feedback.

Never let me down.

Velox has never let me down. Lasts and lasts and never have had a flat from the spoke nipple. I use it for road bike rims in the 10 and 17 mm width.

Thank you for your feedback.

Durable long lasting rim tape.

I prefer cloth rim tape over plastic, less chance of cutting the inner tube if it gets folded underneath.

Thank you for your feedback.

Purchase the best!

Thought I was going to take inexpensive road and purchase a rubber rim tape. That was a waste of money! Not only did the rubber thing break after a couple of rides but I had to replace couple of inner tubes! Not too expensive, not too heavy, they go on easily, they stay in place, and they do what they are designed to do very well!

Thank you for your feedback.

I have used this cloth tape for a long time.

I like the durability of this tape. Sometimes it needs a little warming up to help the glue stick. It is also the easiest to use when the whole for the valve is cut in the center.

Thank you for your feedback.

Does the job, and is easy to install. It's always the brand I use for myself.

I always install Velox on my own wheels because the cotton canvas is strong, not abrasive, and the slightly tacky coating makes it easy to install. I have used the rubber band style, but they stretch, break easily, and after a few years, the rubber gets rotten. I have also used the thick nylon rim tape, but it feels abrasive, and is slippery (like a nylon rope) and therefore more difficult to install. I trust Velox because is does a simple job well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very durable. Easy to use. Great Benefit to Cost ratio!

I used this rim tape on a new wheel that I purchased. The tape was very easy to use, has turned out to be durable, and was a great value for the cost.

Thank you for your feedback.

Installation on my new Bontrager Race Lite wheels was a snap. Plenty of length.

My go to rim strip

This rim strip fits my wheels perfectly and is so easy to install. Never a problem with slippage over time as I�ve experienced with some other strip.

Thank you for your feedback.

Velox Rim Strip is a must

Started to use Velox Rim Strip years ago when I was getting flats on my new road bike. Ever since then no flats. Paired up with Continental Gator Skins I have enjoyed flat free rides.

Thank you for your feedback.

easy to install & won't shift after installed

I use velox rim tape on vintage restoratwion projects. It's a little more expensive than rubber strip but I know it will last.

Thank you for your feedback.
