I thought I rolled that tape on there pretty tight and smoothed it out pretty good, but maybe I put it on incorrectly. Is there a method to the madness when putting on rim tape? It extended the full length of the wheel and overlapped by a few millimeters when I reached the end of the wheel.
I'll have to check on these things when I return from work. Thanks.

P.S. Brand new wheel, tire, and tube
Speculatin on all the possible causes is a waste of time. Find the original tube and look at it, or wait for this one to flat. Rim tape is a no brainer. If it's wide enough and it handles high pressure you shouldn't be having a problem with it.
