So I'm trying to intake as much youtube videos as I can and it seems as though their aren't many videos on rim tape, which was why I asked if it was necessary. I never knew that rim tape came already installed which is probably a reason why its not something that is widely covered in these "change tires" videos.

How long does the stock rim tape usually last? I'm assuming that tube leak = rim tape leak right?

I'm looking up on the RS11 and how to remove the skewers. Whether it just go to the unlock position and then pull or whether it unlock position and then unscrew the other side then pull (the latter seems more logical).

Man, I'm nervous that I might mess something up. Kind of excited too to learn how to change a tire. I'll be tire king, hopefully.
