Rim tape Heidenau 38 mm 16/17"

To protect the inner tube on a spoked 16/17″ rim, fit the Heidenau 38×16/17 rim tape (flap): it covers the spoke nipples that would otherwise damage the tube. The band is 38 mm wide, sitting flat along the base of the rim and isolating the tube from the bare metal.

What the Heidenau 38×16/17 rim tape does

• Tube protection: Heidenau 38×16/17 rim tape covers the spoke nipples and protects the inner tube from being damaged by them on a spoked wheel.
• Correct fit: the 38×16/17 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 38 mm band. A 38 mm width is enough to cover the whole rim base together with the nipple heads on most standard 16/17″ rims. Too narrow leaves the spoke nipples exposed, too wide sits in folds.

Which motorcycles it suits

Heidenau rim tape 38×16/17 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.
