Well, initial excitement has turned to disappointment .
I'm having problems with the tyres
Story so far. Wheels came without rim tape, they sent me some two days later.
It was the cloth type and was too wide, I couldn't get the bead to seat because the rim tape was too wide and it moved up this inside of the bead. It was even showing outside the tyre in places. I changed this for some narrower plastic type, this fitted the rim perfectly. However this also slides about when fitting the tyre and ends up covering the tyre bead in places.
I'm using these with tubes and I'm finding it impossible to get the rim tape to stay put.
I could glue it in, but I would rather not if I can avoid it.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm close to sending them back.
Do Stans make a special tape for these rims?
Iv''e just had a though, how about using a couple of layers of insulation tape???
