Rim Tape Width
 

Hi

I'm thinking about getting some Shimano 7850 Cls and need some rim tape. I was thinking of Velox, and the widths they have are 13, 17 and 19 widths, but the 17 is out of stock. Can I use the 19. I use continental 4000GPs.

Thanks

13mm should be the proper size.
17mm are for narrow MTB rims or touring rims.
19mm are for wide MTB rims.

now now, accurate and useful knowledge sharing is not what the 41 is about. Take it to the Mechanics forum!

Those wheels allegedly come with blue Shimano rim strips.
