AndyD:
Sorry, another question...
Ordering rim tapes for the wheels and there seems to be a range of widths - 20, 22 and 28mm - and I wondered which is correct for these wheels or if it makes any difference etc?

Cheers,
Andy

TrickyMicky:
Y'know, as old and wise(daft!) as we might be, the width of rim tapes I have never even considered! I have just ordered tyres/tubes/tapes all together and fitted what was delivered. Thinking about it, I suppose that as long as it is wide enough to cover the ends of the spokes, but does not protrude out of the 'well' so as to be in the way of the tyre bead seating you should be ok. Maybe wait for a more professional reply from someone on here, you don't want mistakes when it comes to tyres.

AndyD:
I Know - I've never even thought about rim tape before!
Back in the day all the local bike shops just supplied and fitted the tyres without question.
More recently the bikes I've restored were largely tubeless and the one bike that needed tubes was done by a local bike shop which has now shut down.
The other shops just don't want to do classic / old bike tyres so I've resorted to getting all the bits and getting them fitted - luckily it seems a local guy is happy to fit the tyres and also check over the wheel building / truing I've done so hoping that works out.
I'll hold off ordering the rim tapes for a bit and see if anyone has any feedback - chances are I guess any width will do but just in case...
Cheers,
Andy

Nurse Julie:
We use 24mm on all our CB SOHC/4's

AndyD,

did you get the tyres? My original order for the Dunlops has a delivery of March!

Now looking at ME77's

What sizes did you order?

Thanks
