The PVC rim tape showed no problems after a few rides, so I left it on
the rim. The front wheels rim tape also looked OK. After my ride
tomorrow, I'll put the new wheels back on the bike, but just to be on
the safe side, I ordered a 10 foot pkg of rim tape (BUCKLOS ) to carry
on my rides.
On second thought, after thinking about the slight spoke hole
depresssions on the 26 inch wheel with PVC tape with the blue tape on
the 20 inch wheels which had no depressions, I decided to change it
out. As long as I have new rim tape coming anyway. Flat tires out on a
ride are many many times worse than changing out the rim tape at home.
