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
davida

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