Reynolds Solitude = red veloplugs
This post is for the benefit of future searchers.
I couldn't find this in a search, and was too lazy to take my tire off and check the hole size, so I ordered a bag of each (red and yellow).
The red ones fit Reynolds Solitude spoke holes perfectly, the yellow ones are too large. The red ones go in very easily, but are just snug enough to stay put.
Solves my problem I had with the narrow rims and (11mm) rim tape moving around, causing flats. These plugs won't move around.

All the reynolds I've seen from the past few years use red veloplugs. Assaults. Attacks. DV46C's. MV32's.

FWIW - because this will search well out on Google - Yellow plugs are needed for Kinlin rims. Red work great for the Gigantex carbon rims that I used to use. They also used to work for ENVE/EDGE rims.
