^^ Cloth rim tape supposed to be best bust I find it does degrade (water damage?) over time and can develop rough edges on eyelets and saw through your inners.

Pinch flats are different thing though and shouldn'y be affected by rim tape?

The tape on them was barely more than electrical tape that had no sticky, putting air in the tubes could push the tape into the holes in the rim and then it was just a matter of time. Think the tape ripped slightly in places from that too.
