Rim Strip - 27.5in

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used these on a few builds where the stock strips felt flimsy, and the nylon construction holds up much better. Once installed, they stay put and do their job without any fuss."

Reliable tube performance starts with proper rim protection, and the Rim Strip provides a simple, effective solution for preventing internal punctures. Designed to sit between the tube and rim bed, it shields the tube from spoke holes and sharp edges that can lead to unexpected flats.

Constructed from durable nylon, it offers increased strength and longevity compared to basic rubber alternatives. The material resists stretching and deformation over time, maintaining consistent coverage across the rim bed. Its flexible design allows it to conform closely to the rim profile, ensuring full protection without bunching or shifting during installation or use.

Sized for 27.5in and 650b wheels, it integrates easily into standard tube setups and works across a wide range of riding styles, from daily commuting to trail use. By reinforcing a critical contact point inside the wheel, it helps extend tube life and improve overall system reliability.

This rim strip is best suited for riders maintaining tube setups who want added protection and peace of mind on every ride.
