Well it wasn't decent, faded braking surface and rusty eyelets. Too much hassle to stick it on eBay, catch a couple of quid if I'm lucky and spend pretty much all of that money on an other rim to drill holes in.
I think the rim tape will work, the holes are 10mm diameter and I got a 15mm rim tape, which is an exact fit on the rim. Mountainbikers have been drilling their rims since the beginning of time, and MTBs tend to get abused a lot worse than my fixed bikes. But still I'm a bit wary..
