Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Enhanced Velox Jantex 76 Tubular Rim Tape by Drexel Wortham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I will never go back to gluing.

Works great (Zipp 303 Firecrest with Conti Competitions). Several people on blogs are suggesting that the carbon version is needed for carbon rims. maybe if I live in the mountains and the rides would be hot. or used a bike for regular crits. but most say that even then it's not too worrisome. I was able to remove the tire with little effort, but it felt like a thumbtack was enough to hold the tire in place. The curb was never an option for Mastic because it was so strong that it often destroyed the tire when removed. This tape is carefully removed from the rim and glued to the tire. At $5 a wheel I would consider spinning tires - not an option if glued. I will never go back to gluing. It is much easier.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I will add later
