R+D, Santa Monica Lines: 10 Keywords: Flats Rims a A friend taught me to use Scotch strapping tape (the kind with the filiments running the length of the tape) on double wall rims. Two or three layers does a super job, while the Velox tape I had used was expensive and seemed to crawl sometimes. Also, I have used silicon rubber caulk in handle bar and stem surfaces, and it seems to quiet the squeaking you can sometimes get. It rubs right off exposed surfaces.
