Reviews over the

Schwalbe High Pressure Race

Very smooth delivery.

Pros & Cons

Does not fall into the gutter of the rim making it slightly too wide. I had determined the desired width beforehand with a piece of tape (pressed into the gutter). That might make putting on the outer tyre more difficult.

Pros & Cons

Worthless product. Valve hole is not in the centre so the ribbon does not cross the centre of the rim. This causes the rim to stand up and the sharp edge of the plastic rim tape to wear into the inner tube. So this also resulted in a puncture. The place where the tape is stuck together also has sharp edges. Would be compatible with racing, but in my opinion too small for rims with >19mm inner diameter. This rim tape has not been thought through. For me just another tape.

Pros & Cons

This non-adhesive rim tape unfortunately shifts continuously, causing it to partly creep onto the shoulder of the rim when fitting the tyre. As a result, spoke holes are barely covered in those areas and the tyre cannot be fitted properly; the rim tape is partly between the shoulder and tyre making it impossible to plop it into place and the tyre bulges. This rim tape seems fine to me for a flat rim bed, but certainly not for a gutter-shaped rim bed with shoulders.

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do

Pros & Cons

As in the past, the products were delivered perfectly as agreed.

So far the product seems to be working well, fine purchase.

Pros & Cons

Fits 100% in my rim, it will sit there for years for now.

Pros & Cons

I installed these rim strips on my Mavic Cosmic aluminium, easy installation with just a screwdriver, please see the various videos on the internet for installation. For information, if your rim width is 17mm inside, you need to use a maximum of 16mm for the rim base and no bigger.
