Hi Guys,

I have bought some rim tape for my bike but need help fitting it. I tried and failed miserably. Are there any easy ways to fit it, or methods which may help me get it straight??

Thanks

Jon

Have you tried washing the rim with soapy water before hand? It should act a as degreaser which should help more with positioning/sticking.

You need to make sure that you thoroughly clean those rims first - any grease whatsoever and they aren't going to stick!
After that just take your time with them, they shouldn't pose too much of a problem if you do is slowly and ensure you line it all up right.
Best of luck Thumbs Up
