I just read that the clincher Ksyriums don't need rim strips. Is this true? 'Will putting it on anyway some how mess-up the tire on the rim?

Since there aren't any holes on the inside of the rim for the spoke nipples you don't need rim tape. It's pretty darn smooth in there. Why spend the money. I've never used it in over two years and numerous tire changes. Don't think you'll need it.

Neat. That's a pretty cool feature they have. Saves you a good 7 bucks. :D
