the bright color is practical so you can easily see if the innertube is between the tire beads , not poking out under , anywhere..
Yes, good rim tape will last a very long time. And, some of the "factory tape" like Shimano sells with their rims fits very well.
This came out of Mom's Motobecane (after my niece getting a double front/rear flat, and riding on gravel on the vintage bare rims
)
That stuff just crumbled when it was touched.
I still have been looking for alternatives to the Velox.
