Pro Class Rim Tape Alternatives? Is there any?

(1/3) > >>

moley:
I'm after something with the same consistancy as a proper Pro Class Rim tape.

Something that looks the part and does the job.   

Metallic tapes are quite thin and bulge out like the woman with the big bulgey eyes!!  :(

I'd want a few different colors!!

Any ideas?

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

hmmm.

i went to the habidashiry section in john lewis and bought a thin roll of fabric...

got a nice metallic look to it and is quite thick.

on the DY ( any excuse)

Bob_Acid:
Couldn't you use anything then cover that with a regular rim tape?

Jt:
thats what i did.

moley:
I'm using some metallic tape with the cardboard backing still on...........plus some electrical insulation tape and a proper rubber rim strip.

The trouble is its still bulges out too much with 50-60 psi behind it and looked a little to flimsy.

I was wondering if anyone has found a better alternative.
