Description
RAL Rim Tape is a hard-working companion that quietly supports your daily rides. Prioritizing reliability and durability, it silently performs its duties at your feet in every situation, from daily commutes to long-distance touring.
Rim tape is a part that, once applied, is rarely seen until the next time you remove the tire. Yet, it's absolutely essential for getting the bike moving, supporting it in ways you can't see. That's why the idea behind it isn't "anything will do because it's invisible," but rather "because it's invisible, choose something reliable."
Avoiding trouble during your ride is a more important factor in determining the enjoyment of your day than flashy specs. This reliable rim tape provides solid protection inside the rim, minimizing the risk of punctures, and works quietly and reliably from the moment you start pedaling until you reach your finish line.
The tube-type model is made of nylon material that offers an excellent balance of lightness and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, from everyday riding to long-distance touring and even ultra-long-term trips lasting several months. The tape type has a uniform thickness and flexible material that makes it easy to firmly attach to the rim, and it has the strength to withstand high air pressures.

| length : | 45m |

[INSTALL]
The ideal width for rim tape is 1-2 mm wider than the inner width of the rim. If it's too narrow, the spoke holes may remain exposed, and if it's too wide, wrinkles may form during application, making tire installation difficult.
To improve airtightness and prevent peeling, be sure to thoroughly degrease the rim surface before applying the tape.
