Rim Strip for 20" (451) Wheels?
I had a flat today -- very odd, I rode over 100km, put the bike in the car, came back and the tire was flat and burst on the inner (rim) side.... anyway, there is a tear in the rim strip. Looks like it might have always been there? I'm having trouble find a source for appropriate replacements -- anyone have suggestions?

I prefer cloth rim tape like Velox... the thinnest that would fit yet cover spoke nipples.

For double wall rims I like using hole plugs.

Another vote for Velox. Install once and it's good for the life of the wheel. Best stuff there is.
