The rim strip/tape (?) on my Roval Controle wheel has folded over and needs replacing because air is leaking out around the spokes. I rune these tubeless, do I need a speacial rim strip / rim tape, if so, where can i get one from? Cheers

Sadly no joy on there, these are UST rims so the bit I need is like a big rubber band. Any more info out there?

What rim? If yur tyres and tubes are proper UST you dont need rimstrip. With non-UST tyres / UST rims the Stans rimstrip can help the seal but its not necessary.

The same has happened on my Roval Traversee's. Specialized have the rim strips on their website, so I presume they can be obtained at a Specialized dealer. To be honest, I don't rate the rim strips, so i have bought a set of Joes. Too cold to fit them at the moment so I have just been using tubes.
