I've seen some people say you should run a very thin tape with them. Is that really necessary, or can I just go with the standard velox stuff?
Hmm, I use Paselas a lot and have had no issues with them on CR-18's. I also always use Velox tape. I also have built... Let's see... 8 wheels, I think, with CR-18's and not had any build issues. Not a huge sample size, but that's my experience.
