Afternoon all.

I have filling my office a very nice set of Hope Hoops – xc6 hubs with stans crest rims. This is my 2nd set of hoops, the first set being one of the first and very nice they are too.

Question – this year hoops come with very fetching green rim tape pre applied whilst my old ones came DIY with a couple of rolls of tape. It narrow for spoke tape just covering the holes. I’m running them tubless though so about to add the yellow tape – will it do any harm to leave the tape there you think?

If your running tubless then take the supplied tape out and fit yellow tape plus valve. you may find it hard to fit tires if leave tape in.

And they will probably leak badly if you leave the other tape on.
