30mm and 35mm Hookless rims.. Opinions?

<< < (4/4)

Chinertown Idiot:
Very nice, Peter! Thanks for keeping us updated. Those rims look sweet and 400 grams is an awesome weight for 30mm rims.

I'm like SN... Crap, I want them now. Lol.

Jake:
How wide should the tape to close the spoke holes be for the light-bicycle.com 30 mm ID rim?
Should it be just wide enough to cover the holes or should it be at least 25 mm?

Carbon_Dude:
You want at least a couple 5-8 millimeters of adhesive on either side of the holes, I would recommend as wide of tape as will fit on the surface with the holes drilled, the tape can even cover the rounds on either side a bit.  So in the x-section you posted, 25mm wide tape or rim strips could easily be used.  I tend to think the tape is easy and cheap but some people prefer the Bontrager Rhythm 22mm wide rim strips.  You just do not want the tape or rim strip to interfere with the tire sidewall.

Had this leftover from the giveaway thread.. thought I'd post it here:
