Rim tape Heidenau 22 mm 16/17"

Heidenau rim tape 22×16/17 — also called a flap — covers the spoke nipples in the well of a 16/17″ rim so they cannot chafe or puncture the inner tube. The band is 22 mm wide, sitting flat along the base of the rim and isolating the tube from the bare metal.

What the Heidenau 22×16/17 rim tape does

• Tube protection: Heidenau 22×16/17 rim tape covers the spoke nipples and protects the inner tube from being damaged by them on a spoked wheel.
• Correct fit: the 22×16/17 size is matched to a 16/17″ rim, so the tape stays centred without leaving the spoke nipples exposed during fitting.
• Full coverage: when the size matches the rim, the Heidenau band covers the spoke nipples across the full width of the well, isolating the inner tube from them.
• Compatibility: fits any spoked 16/17″ rim with a tube-type tyre, regardless of the motorcycle model; such rims are commonly used on classic, enduro and vintage machines.

How to choose the rim tape size

A Heidenau rim tape is chosen by two figures: the rim diameter in inches and the band width in millimetres. For this item that is a 16/17″ rim and a 22 mm band. This is a narrow band for a narrow rim well — choose it only when the rim width matches, or the spoke nipples will stay exposed. Too narrow leaves the spoke nipples exposed, too wide sits in folds.

Which motorcycles it suits

Heidenau rim tape 22×16/17 is needed on any spoked 16/17″ rim running a tube-type tyre, regardless of the motorcycle model. The tape fits both fitment diameters — 16 and 17 inch. Such rims are commonly used on classic road, enduro and off-road motorcycles, as well as vintage machines. Cast wheels without spokes do not need a rim tape.
