Rim tape. WHen I built the Torelli wheels I picked up some Velox and the guy asked what width I wanted. The choices were 10mm and 16mm. I figured they were pretty narrow so I said 10mm. It was a tiny bit narrow visually and in practice it would migrate and expose the spoke nipples. I replaced it with 16mm which fit perfectly and flats on the inside fo the tube stopped.
