Can you lift the end of the current tape up a bit? Is it thick and/or multi-layered?
If so, then it might be worth a punt on new tape for (I paid £4 for two rims of Velox). I've got a whole roll of that yellow tape - same as Stan's - for when I was trying to get that stupid front wheel to work by converting it to tubeless. You're welcome to a rim's worth if you can be arsed getting it from me. I'd imagine your nearest bike shop would have a roll of Velox you could experiment with. You might be able to use a skinnier version, so long as it covers the rim holes.

gotcha. cloth stuff, right? my rims apparently have a 17mm internal width, the current rim tape is 18mm. do i go thinner? do i rip the old stuff off and examine the rim before getting some new shit?
really sorry for all this rim tape chat.
