H Plus Son TB-14 rim tape width?

Just built up my TB-14s and tried a standard road rim tape. It covers the spoke holes fine but the little holes either side of the valve and the join are exposed. I could cover them up with electrical tape but I'd prefer to have a slightly wider rim tape.

What are people using? My guess is 19mm Velox would be good but I'm not sure if that's the ideal width.

I think I used 18mm on mine. It was that stupid high-tension rubber band stuff though, not proper tape.

Cool. I've got some 19mm Velox on order which I hope will work. Backup plan is 16mm with extra tape to cover the little holes.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
