Rim Strip or Duct Tape

(1/4) > >>

Andych:
Finally getting around to starting on the CB400 and gathering a few items I know I will need.. including tyres and tubes... but... I was wondering what are peoples preference... Rim Strips sized correctly (hard to find apparently) of Heavy Duty Duct tape?

I am not sure I trust Duct tape that much... well mabey the reinforced stuff would be OK

18" Rim tapes in stock @ Vintage Motorcycle Tyres of Beaulieu, £2 each plus VAT. Good service, this is where i bought mine along with Dunlop K81 tyres (TT100 lookalikes). If you're in the mood for a nice journey, I think you will find they even offer a fitting service, phone call first ay?  I found the rear tyre an absolute B=====d to fit because the standard rim has a very shallow dish, cost me a second inner tube and professional help! Have fun. Regards, Michael.

That indeed would be a nice journey for Andy...he lives in Sydney, Oz. 😀😀😀

Rim tape.

"Big Whoopsie"!!! When all else fails, as a last resort, read the instructions, (or member's address!). On my way back to The Sunnyside Home for The Terminally Bewildered, I happened to notice that Vintage Tyres use UPS for worldwide deliveries. Am I eligible for forgiveness?
