Is the rim tape worth having? At two bucks it's no biggie, but I'd rather save throwing 'em in landfill if they're just the useless hard plastic stuff...

It stops the spoke nipples puncturing the tubes. The rim shouldnt puncture a tube, unless its been scratched somehow.Solirossi wrote:To be honest iv no idea what the stuff is for, i assume to make the inside of the rim a more suitable surface for a rubber tube, in turn minimising the chance of the rim puncturing the tube??

If I find I like riding ss I'll probably throw some cheap wheels on this one and sell it on, then find a nicer frame to build up for myself with a bit more thought, effort and $. Figured it was a false economy to buy cheap crap wheels though.
Heard a knock at the back door this morning while I was still half asleep - when I got up there was a box on the doorstep. Nice surprise as I wasn't expecting them until the middle of next week
