I have used Veloplugs on at least 3 sets of wheels. I used to really love them, until my recent wheel build where when I wondered why it was so hard to mount my wire bead tires. I like to train on wire bead and mount Kevlar tires for special trips or for performance events. The Veloplugs add distance to the inner diameter of the inner bed of the rim, which makes mounting tires harder - especially with less flexible ones like wire bead tires. I replaced all of my wheelsets with snap on nylon rim strips and it totally resolved my problems. If they can make these lower profile, they may work, but the real solution is just to use standard rim tape like Velox or snap on rim strips.

Have used these for about 7 years instead of rim tape. They prevent pinch flats from spoke holes and are significantly lighter than rim tape. Never had one fail or come out. But easy to get out if needed. Good product.

If you've ever gotten a flat on a bicycle while in the middle of no where due to weak or punctured inner tube caused by poor rim tape, then this is for you! I've used these for several years now and all my bikes use these now. Measure your spoke holes properly to get the right size for your wheels.

Very good product! Highly recommend, if installed correctly, no rim tape needed to convert that bike wheels into tubeless.

Great item. Snaps right in to rim holes. Lighter than rim tape or strips. No flats caused by tube sinking into rim holes.
