How to Make a Rim Strip for a Bike Wheel

[@Cheezcakecharlie]

I use electrical tape on my 700c rims. Twice around and it works great. Thanks for the video.

[@CharlieWinkelman]

No problem, glad you enjoyed!

[@keithjohnson5398]

Ah electrical tape, should be the right width too. Maybe I'll give that a try instead of using duct tape.

That boing boing sound effects at the end made me hit the like button! Good job with the gorilla tape mate!

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Thanks my man 🙌🏼👍🏼

[@rohitsanjay1]

hahahaha i wasn't expecting that sound effect at the end xD

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Haha I had to add it to spice the video up

[@davidleet9501]

I found on a bike we had for years that the manufacturer had not cleaned the flash from the outer rim holes (double-walled rim) . Never saw that until tearing out the rim tape when I saw a glint of aluminum when fixing yet another flat.

Thanks for the guide. Is it still holding?

[@anna7sept]

Thanks for this idea! Much appreciated. 👍

[@truthseeker2248]

nice sound effect at the end, hehe that's funny

[@keithjohnson5398]

Great idea, think my stock strip is causing my valve stem flats, the valve stem hole's elongated and believe it slips around the wheel pushing the valve stem enough to tear it from the tube.

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Hopefully this helps you solve the problem! Glad to hear you liked the video.

[@Ryan-en4yh]

Same problem with me mate I’ve had to buy so many inner tubes bc it kept happening but I’ve just replaced the rim tape

[@Softballcrazy]

Any problems with water getting on the tape? I will try this

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Water getting on the tape? No not on mine. I just did this on a tubeless tire and it worked to seal it 👍🏼

[@krisnickfffs]

What about the adhesive? Will it not leave adhesive on the rim when you remove the tape?

[@MrBergeronMath]

A bit of goo-gone should do the trick if the adhesive residue is a problem later

[@michaelroberson3971]

How long did it last?

[@CharlieWinkelman]

It’s held up to this day I haven’t got a flat yet if that’s what you mean

[@timmyskante]

Yyeeeeeeerrrrrrrr

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Yoiuehh

[@macgong2141]

do i need to use sealant on tubeless bikr?

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Yes make sure you use tough tape and cover all the holes where air could escape

[@macgong2141]

thanks

[@drrobotnikmeanbeanma]

Can you use duct tape of you don't have gorilla tape. If you tape it around the bike rim 3x will it be better instead of doing it once ??

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

Gorilla tape is just a brand name for a type of duct tape, although Gorilla has a reputation for producing reliable products. I would choose a brand like Gorilla, 3M or Duck for longevity.

[@krissifadwa]

@@Milosz_Ostrow Would it be a good idea to wrap around more than once for ultimate strength and sturdiness?

[@EndureTemptation]

We need an update! Did it hold?

[@CharlieWinkelman]

Yes sir still holding!!!

[@BinhNguyen-ci7zu]

Can i use electric tape for rim?

[@CharlieWinkelman]

I wouldn’t but it’s probably fine as long as it doesn’t rip

[@BinhNguyen-ci7zu]
