Aye, me too. Haven't got a spare tube now, one exploded while fitting. It was the shitty rim tape that came with the wheels. Replaced it with a few layers of electrical tape, job done. Off for maiden voyage this afternoon.
I suggest you get some decent rim tape because otherwise you'll be pissed when you try to get that electrical tape off in a few months.
New rim tape ordered, will fit next time I need to take a tyre off.
