Hi
I’ve bought a Hope Hoops wheel on a Stan’s ZTR Crest rim.
Trouble is, with the green rim tape that came with it, my WTB Nanoraptor won’t go on. It’s not even close. Without the rim tape, no problem. And I know the techniques, etc etc, have been doing this a long time. This tyre almost falls off a Mavic 717 so it’s not particularly tight.
Have been going round in circles slightly. Stans say it should be used with their yellow rim tape only, but Wiggle (from whom I bought the wheel) don’t stock it. Hope tweeted me back sounding helpful (problem sometimes happens, call us) but having spoken with them, they don’t really have any suggestions other than sending them the wheel so they can look at it.
Before I return this bloody thing, any suggestions? Has anyone had this happen before? I’d rather just buy some cheapy rim tape that’d actually work, than mess around returning it, but I’m not sure what to get.
