Rim tape sizing help.
I recently bought a bike off the side of the road to fix up and restore. It’s a bright red Ross road bike from the 1980s or 90s. I’ve made my way to the wheels with fairly little trouble, but the rim tape has caused a few snags. The dimensions of the wheels are fairly unconventional, according to the Internet, at 27” by 1 1/4”. I was told that 700c rim tape would work well, however when I installed it, my tubes got about 6 or 7 punctures. In mm, the dimensions of the wheel are 630x17, while the rim tape is only 16mm wide. What size rim tape should I use, and where can I find it? Also, the nuts that hold the spokes to the rim jut out about 3mm from the inside of the rim.
