Kenda 38mm-16/17 Centre Rim Tape

The Kenda 38mm Centre Rim Tape is designed for spoked motorcycle wheels, providing a protective layer between the rim bed and inner tube. It covers spoke nipple holes to prevent punctures caused by metal-to-metal contact during riding.

Suited to tube-type wheels in 16-inch and 17-inch sizes, this rim tape is a straightforward maintenance item for riders running spoked rims on road or off-road motorcycles.

• 38mm width designed to cover the full centre channel of the rim bed
• Compatible with 16-inch and 17-inch motorcycle wheels
• Protects inner tubes from spoke nipples and rim hole edges
• Intended for tube-type spoked wheel applications

Ensure the rim bed is clean, dry, and free of grease or debris before fitting.
Centre the tape over the spoke nipple holes, running it evenly around the full circumference of the rim.
Work the tape firmly into the rim channel with your thumb to eliminate air bubbles and ensure full adhesion.
Do not stretch the tape excessively during installation, as this may cause it to lift or split over time.
Inspect the rim tape each time the tyre is removed for signs of cracking, lifting, or wear and replace if damaged.
Do not reuse rim tape once removed, as adhesion may be compromised.
Store unused tape in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
