Continental ContiTech Rim Strips

These strips are designed for standard 26-inch rims with a 20mm width. Before purchasing, measure the internal width of your rim bed to ensure a proper fit, as a strip that is too narrow may leave spoke holes exposed.

A thinner profile makes the tire mounting process significantly easier. It reduces the overall diameter of the rim bed, giving you more slack to work with when seating the tire bead, which is especially helpful for tighter-fitting tires.

No, these rim strips are designed to stay in place through tension. Once the tube is inflated and the tire is seated, the pressure holds the strip securely against the rim bed.

You should replace your rim strips if they show signs of cracking, fraying, or if they have shifted, exposing any of the spoke holes. If you are experiencing frequent, unexplained flats on the inner side of your tube, your rim strip is likely worn out or damaged.

These rim strips are designed for use with inner tubes. If you are setting up a tubeless system, you will need a dedicated tubeless rim tape that creates an airtight seal, which these strips do not provide.
