Forum: Singlespeed & Fixed Gear

  27. Just so you guys know..

    I have been using ELECTRICAL TAPE instead of RIM TAPE for about a month now and it has worked without fail. I use 2-3 layers and that holds up fine in excess of 100 psi. NOTE: This is on Weinmann DP18s, a semi-deep section rim. So the ends of the spokes don't poke out at all.
