FAQ

• How do I choose my rim size?

  RIM SIZE FOR MOTOR VEHICLES (i.e. cars, motorcycles, etc.):
The last two digits in the numbers imprinted on your tires is your rim size. For example, “180/55ZR17”, means you have 17\” rims.

  RIM SIZE FOR BICYCLES:
Please be aware that the numbers on your bicycle tire is the tire size, not rim size, so you must follow these instructions to find your actual rim size:

  Measure the diameter of your rims, NOT tires, from edge to edge. Your measurement will always end up to be UP TO 1\” more than your actual rim size. For example, your measurement of a 22.1\” to 23\” diameter, means you have 22\” rims. Therefore you should be ordering a 22\” size rim tape.

  Also, rim tapes can only be applied to rims with disc brakes since you CANNOT have the pad brakes rub on the rim tapes.

• My vehicle has 2 different rim sizes, do I need to make 2 orders?

  No, there are combination kits in the dropdown selection for vehicles with 2 different sizes.

• Will the rim tapes fit my vehicle (car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc)?

  Yes, they are curved strips for the exact rim size selected. The standard width is 8mm, but we can custom any other width if needed. Please contact us for custom widths.

• What do I get in my rim tape set?
  

  Each order has enough CURVED, self adhesive strips to make 4 complete circles for whatever rim size you select. The curve is different for different rim size so you must select your correct rim size(s) in the drop-down selection.

  The curved strips are 8mm (.3125\”) wide, so make sure you have enough space on your rims for that. We can custom any other width if needed. You can also cut the curved strips with scissors to apply in dashes/sections if your rims are not designed to allow a continuous ring.

• Do I need any special tools to apply the rim tape strips?

  No, we designed them to be the easiest rim tapes to apply without needing any tools. Our rim tapes are custom fitted curved strips for the exact rim size you select. Our strips are short and pre-curved allowing for easy handling and application.

• Do I need to remove my wheels to apply the rim tapes?
