Several months ago, I decided to replace the black rim tape with red one to match my new red frame. I tried VERY hard to find 80mm rim tape like the original online - easier to find the proverbial needle in the haystack!!! So I settled for 65mm red nylon rim tape on AliExpress for 18$CAD, centered it on the rim (that was enough to cover the rim holes), and put 1 inch wide black gorilla tape strips on each sides.
Was browsing AliExpress today and low and behold, there is a single vendor with 80mm nylon tape for 18$CAD delivered to Canada for free with ePacket (2 weeks). Stock is low for those who want to seize the opportunity. Available in White, Black, Red and Yellow. Ordered myself some red again...
I know you can use anything in place of the OEM tape, but I like the ultra tight waterproof seal of actual nylon rim tape designed for that specific purpose. Just look at the OEM tape, I mean, can you do better than that with any hack found online?
