Do I really need rim tape if I already have a good inner tube?

Yes. Even a high-quality inner tube can be punctured from the inside by spoke nipples or small burrs in the rim bed. Rim tape adds a protective barrier that significantly reduces the risk of this type of puncture, making it a small but essential investment for reliable rides.

This Schwalbe rim tape is specifically sized for 16-622 wheels, so it fits perfectly on that rim size. Always double-check your rim’s exact size marking before purchase to ensure a proper, snug fit.
