I put this rim tape in and could not get the new tire in no matter how I did it. I've had motorcycle tires that were easier to fit than these tires. I was eventually drawn to the conclusion that the bead was not sitting in the "well" on the other side of the tire, and hence, I couldn't get the last little bit of the tire over the rim. The reason the bead wouldn't go down? Because this 16mm tape was too wide. The tape should fit in the little groove and cover the spoke holes, but that's it! It should not egress out onto the walls of that well. I went to my local bike shop and picked up some 11mm velox rim tape and that fit fine; tire fits okay and all is well. In summary, a great product but make SURE you get the right size. Review: It does the job well - If you are a frequent and/or long-distance cycler like me, you are no stranger to flats and changing inner-tubes when you least expect it. Many people do not, however, realize that their is rim tape inside their rims and/or that it can fatigue over time and needs replacement. This is excellent tape, does the job of protecting your tubes and lasts. Definitely recommend. ## Features - Adhesive backed cotton cloth tape - Guards against tube punctures - 2 meters long to fit most rim sizes - Two rolls per pack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00M5408R4 | | Adhesive Format | Back of tape | | Adhesive Location | Back of the tape | | Adhesive Side Count | 1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #197,059 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #45 in Bike Rim Tape #4,355 in Bike Components & Parts | | Brand | Velox | | Brand Name | Velox | | Color | Beige, Black | | Compatible Material | Alloy Steel, Aluminum | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (291) | | Date First Available | July 26, 2014 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00858720004033 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 4.5 x 2.6 x 1.1 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 4.5 x 2.6 x 1.1 inches | | Item Resistance | water_resistant | | Item Thickness | 16 Millimeters | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Velox | | Material | Cotton | | Number of Items | 2 | | Package Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Part Number | 26232392 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Outdoor, Bicycle | | Size | 2.6 inches x 4.5 inches x 16mm | | Surface Recommendation | Cloth | | UPC | 858720001261 858720004033 | | Unit Count | 2.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Velox - **Color:** Beige, Black - **Material:** Cotton - **Number of Items:** 2 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Outdoor, Bicycle ## Images ![Rim Tape (2-Pack), 16mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616EPyjRoYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be sure to check the size of the well in your rim; other than that, Velox is fantastic *by J***H on October 11, 2016* Bought this when my tire went flat (the original Velox rim tape I had, had migrated to the side and the tube contacted the spoke holes and I got a flat).

Many people do not, however, realize that their is rim tape inside their rims and/or that it can fatigue over time and needs replacement.

Easily installed, easy to move and stays put when re-positioned. *by J***F on March 1, 2017* Bought 4 rolls of this last year and immediately used two rolls to re-tape two 27 inch rims. For my 700c x 35 rims I used the 16mm size. Went on easily, stayed where I put it and provided more protection than the rubber bands that were supplied with the rim. When I had to replace 2 broken spokes the tape was easy to move and stayed put when re-positioned. Looked briefly at other rim tapes, but Velox is clearly the best. ## Frequently Bought Together - Velox Rim Tape (2-Pack) - Velox Deluxe Cotton Rim Tape 19mm x 2m - 2-Pack Box - Bell Standard and Self Sealing Bike Tubes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4735825-rim-tape-2-pack-16mm](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4735825-rim-tape-2-pack-16mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
