LMAO sry um its weird its the way u feel the vibrations of the road, they are so different compared to when u only got 1 rim strip, its just more comfortable.

Rim tape has nothing at all to do with how smooth the ride is. At all. Stupid thread can be locked now.

You're retarded. Think about it logically, how do 2 extra rim strips do ANYTHING AT ALL to soften the ride of your bike?

Hey guys, has anyone tried stuffing a rag in their bars? I heard it gives a smoother ride. Don't bother trying to tell me I'm full of shit unless you've actually tried it yourself. Your logic is non-understandable to me.

Any dampening the extra 3 mm of rubber would be lost in the tube and tire.

No and I wouldn't its pretty retarded rim strips don't do anything to smooth out the ride.... You probably put a different air pressure in your tires after your so called miracle strips were put in. Thus the change

where or why did you come up with the plan to use extra rip tape?

And is this a joke?
