Rim tape thread
What experiences do you have with rim tape?
my experiences so far
>Red(simson brand)
Fast,absorbs road buzz better,susceptible to overheating
>Blue Schwalbe
Easy to fit,stays cool even under contonious braking,cornering takes a hit due to rotational velodensity.
>blue kenda
makes a rattling noise when accelerating,stays cool just like the blue schwalbe,has the tendency to turn to a gelatinous subtance when in contact with nutella,causing a possible blowout when riding through nutella puddles
>Black(rubber,use on single wall rims only!)
hugely increased rolling resistance,doesnt cope well with bunny hopping.Aerodynamics are considerably worse too.It is cheap and readily available though
>Yellow michelin
good compromise between rolling resistance and weight,gives off a muezzin noise at 66,6 kph(fuck off SI autist)
Remarkable lack of "backbone" and is a snail magnet
so what are your experiences with RIM TAPE?

>not using veloplugs
Wow that's a poor execution of a joke that has already been done to death.
Even that downtube shit was more entertaining.
>>956035
shut up you bar-end
I like Velox cloth tape, stays where you put it. Nylon tape slips around and can work its way up onto the bead.
That's a nice thread OP.
What the difference between tubs and clinchers in terms of ride?
>>956049
the T one has more of a "sizzling" sound to it when getting a puncture protective speed limit penalty in the evening,if possible.
I just use electrical tape
>>956023
velo plugs on all double wall rims since i built my first wheel
are you guys really trying to make a science out of fucking tape?
>>956081
OMG That will overheat the bottom tube when cornering at above 2000 ft!
Please use maxxis rim tape over 2000 ft! jeez
>order 120€ bike parts
>shitty 2€ rim tape is delaying the order for a week

Gahhh

mate this isnt your animu we dont read things backwards
Are you not activating your rim tape before you install it? This eliminates all tape overheating issues.
>>956042
dis nigga right here
fond de jante is the real shit
>>956042
Velox is too thick (and wide) in my opinion. Had to take a stanley knife to mine to get the tyre to seat.
>>956209
not true my mini veli is a road frame with bmx rims laced to "fixie: flip flop road hubs and has rim strips that slide up onto the bead
Same as LEDs in my PC. Only use red to make it faster.
>>956260
I use orange for maneuverability.
>>956036
Fukka yu missing link
>>956261
I use blue for cooling.
>2016
>mfw not using activated rimtape

Are you a milf from /ck/?
I'm not hip to this cool meme joke, but velox is best. Recognize.
>>956421
Velox is shit,kid
>>956528
Why's that?
>>956403
No. Why do you ask?
>>956716
It works, therefore it sucks.
>>956782
Heavy, doesn't last too long, ideally only suited for poor fags and steel wheel bikes or entry level wheels.
Veloplugs are the way to go

Fuck off, retarded ameripleb
>>956878
FUCK YOU CUNT!!
Ill have you know that making the SI post and poasing on the board about reading brochures has made me VERY rich!
Meanwhile you can't even brochure your mom.
