Yes smells of corporate bs to me. Have bought some edco tracksport roches and hope to have better luck

Interesting response from the uk distributor when the wheels were sent back by my lbs.
In summary they say fabric rim tape is not suitable for a clincher rim used on a banked track and that only high pressure tubeless rim tape such as that made by ryde or schwalbe is to be used and more interestingly I quote
“Incidentally, we would never recommend clincher tyres on a velodrome for this very reason; they are not strong enough to handle the G-Forces and cornering loads as well as tubs.”Seems to go against uk velodrome policy but there you have it.

Same issue here with pistards. 2 different kinds of rim tape, the second one 16mm velox, 2 types of tyre (vittoria corsa, conti supersonic). All installed by hand. Rim tape moves with time exposing spoke hole and 3 punctures so far. No solution yet and not what you want on the banking. Never had this issue with any other rim
@Paul_Churchill agree the drill holes are too close to the sides of the rim . I don’t think the ridges at the edge of the rim well help either.
