Velox Tubular (Tub) Tape For Alloy Rims Only is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 199.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is great tub tape, I’ve used this tub tape for many years. It’s a great product and makes a solid, safe bond between your sprints and tubs so you can corner at speed confidently.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product, Excellent Price I bought this tape to put into commission a set of QR, LF Normandy Competition hubs with Mavic tubular rims for an early 1970s Carlton Kermesse restoration. I had done Tubasti etc back when racing and swore never again so Velox tape looked to be a clean way forward. The entry price was reasonable, the tape comes well packaged with multi-language instructions on the back and a clear, red plastic overlay on the tape unlike the tear prone paper found on some. The tape unrolls readily, sticks immediately to a clean rim and burnishes down flat. There is sufficient tape for both alloy rims with some left over at the end. Once the Continental Giros were installed, they were easy to move and center on the red cover of the tape and the tape pealed back readily, did not tear and the tires seated themselves without issue. Pumping to the recommended 10 Bar pressure and rolling the tires on the rug produced a solid join to the rim.After a 6 hour settling, I am unable to get any movement at the tire/rim join. An impressive start after a 40 year hiatus in mounting tubular tires. A good product at a fair price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do the job Easy and fast to apply. Keep the tire in place in every situation. Much faster and cleaner than a glue.

Is this tape suitable for carbon rims and riding in high temperatures?

Is the width OK for Easton EC90 Aeros
Asked by: zenbiker
I used the tapes on Fulcrum Racing Speed wheels, don't know the exact measurement of rim, but would pick it as similar to your Eastons. I rode my wheels with these tapes on in the French Alps, 35/40 degrees celcius conditions, and heat from constant braking down mountains did not appear to affect the tapes at all.

Quantity

In the description it says enough for 2 wheels but it also says 2m, which off the top of my head is one wheels circumference. Or is there 2 x 2m rolls in the packet? Cheers!
Asked by: monkeytrousers
There is one roll in the packet, and I did two normal road bike wheels with it. There is enough left to do a third one I reckon

Can you use this tape in conjunction with tub glue in what's called the 'Belgian method' for cyclocross tubs? Or is that differs tape?

This tape is recommended as an alternative to glue rather than an accompaniment to glue.

Hi. Can i use this tape on a vintage STEEL RIM? (it states Alloy only).

Tyre is a Continental Giro Tubular.
Asked by: Jerry333
Jerry333- I would stay with alloy as recommended as the adhesives for alloy and carbon are each optimized for that application. I have never seen a steel tubular rim so I am thinking you may be looking for rim tape to use with clincher tires. If so, the cotton reinforced Velox tape will work effectively on steel clincher rims.
