comstar wheel rim tape??

(1/3) > >>

tarmac:
do comstar wheels need a rim tape or band fitted......I have just removed the old tyre from my 1979 750 f2 ready to fit a new one and didn't find any rim tape there........should there be ?.....am I wrong in thinking that  they are just for spoked wheels and are not required.

                        cheers Terry

stevush:
I think the rim tape is only there to prevent spokes puncturing the inner tube, in your case its not needed

Regards
Stev

tarmac:
thanks for that quick reply Stevush  just as I thought but wanted to make sure before I go ahead ,..much appreciated,.Terry

royhall:
You don't even need a tube with many ComStar wheels. Should be able to run tubeless with tyres like Avon Road riders. My 1978 F2 is tubeless.

how do I do that Roy,.....where can I get a suitable tubeless valve to fit.
