Question about rim tape glue (self.bikewrench)

submitted 2 months ago by calamitycastle to c/bikewrench

I have some cotton velox rim tape but it's not very sticky and so I'm struggling to apply it to my rims.

Can I just use a few dots of superglue here and there to stick it down?

Great, thanks! Sounds like as long as the tape is stuck to itself I should be OK. Sweet!

Alternatively you could also use something else such as gorilla tape. Works with tubeless tires so should work with tubes as well.

Do you mean instead of the rim tape I have?
