This is an OEM rubber rim strip. Nothing fancy, and not meant to stop flats, just meant to go into the groove of the metal rim so that the spoke nipples won't poke through to your tube. If your spokes are too sharp or protruding too far, this isn't going to stop the end of the spoke from possibly puncturing your tire- you will probably have to sand down the spoke end a tiny bit. Overall, I am satisfied with the rimstrip. It is what usually is found on a bicycle. If you want a better rim strip, but at an increased cost, by some Velo rim strip tape. In fact, I have put Velo rims trip tape on top of these types of plain rubber rim strips with no problems. If you are replacing a tire and your rim strip is hard and crunchy, this is a good cheap replacement, though.

I bought these for an older English style 3 speed 1/38 x 26 EA3 rim. As part of getting the tires to seat properly I had to leave the tires overinflated for several hours. Everything works fine.

I was restoring my old 12 speed,and found these liners at a great price.The product is a very good quality thick rubber,which is good for the old rims I put them in.They also fit perfectly in the 26x1 3/8" rims. GREAT product.

Okay, I guess, but that did'nt stop both of the tubes I ordered from going flat from the leaks that CAME WITH THEM. Thanks ALOT! Very disappointed...
