Stan's yellow rim tape - source in Jhb?

[kosmonooit]

I need a roll of 21mm wide Stan's yellow Rim Tape, any pointers to a retail off-the-shelf source in Jhb area?

 

 

Thanks

Try mobile bike tech, im sure he can sell u some of his tape

How's that new weel truing rig of yours?

[kosmonooit]

thanks caad4 having fun getting down to the last .2mm laterally and .5mm radially. The Park Tools Pro stand is a pleasure to use, and lacing the wheels went quickly. The whole process is intuitive (to me anyway) ZTR lightweight rims are said to be a bit tricky to perfect in terms of truing, they both have a slight kink at the weld which I can live with, its minor.

 

I did get some tape in but its 25mm, might even just take a slice off. Ron's and Ralphs have arrived thanks to prompt service from CWC, hoping to put the finished product thru its paces at Groenies this weekend.

I got some at the lab a while ago, bought three there and then cause you never know when they will get again, if I am not mistaken I think they were 20 or 30 bucks a pop

Why cant you just use normal threaded tape with a layer of insulation tape over that?

My wheels used to be run like that?

[kosmonooit]

Stan the Man's tape seems to be unique, and would like to stick to his system.

Thanks I gave The Lab a call and they said they had stock, so I mission out there as one does in the hell that is Joburg traffic - there is one roll on the shelf, not quite what I expected label, says 21mm but clearly only about 12mm wide, after I persuaded the guy helping me that this was the case, he went to check for stock elsewhere came back empty handed but then gave (sold) me a roll of 3m tape out a tubeless conversion kit. This was 19mm wide so I took it, I assume it will do the job (?) not quite the same as Stans tape, feels a bit thicker. The 3m tape is red 3m logo on white tape. Web trawling reveals nothing.

George from Mean Machine Cycles has two or three rolls in stock

2 layers of regular insulation tape has never let me down. Tape the rim, put the stans strip on, and your done. no air leaks, etc.

[Weight Weenie]

Azonic- the yellow tape is used with a valve instead of a rim strip, its not the same as the clear fibreglass type tape you get with the tubeless kits to build the rim up with

I see on Stan' web site that Greenwall Imports cc in Brooklyn Square Pta are listed as local an agent, will give them a call 2morrow as well. Keen on getting the right stuff, that 3M tape doesn't plik like Stans.

[kosmonooit]

Phoned agents in PE listed on No Toobs web site, referred me to any lbs, after a few calls managed to persuade Linden Cycles to part with a roll of 21mm tape for R100 a pop but at least I am sorted now

Well my good man, you are in luck. I did all the leg work for you. Unfortunately for us it is the Great Yellow Tape Depression. Had the same problems yesterday. FPC Paulshof has a couple of rolls left. Give them a buzz and ask them to keep it for you.

 

Cheers

Edit: R160/roll Good enough for 5 x 26" or 4 x 29er. The 10 yard roll. Not the cheapest of stuff.
