Re: Rim Liners?
Yes, some type of liners are good to use. If you have rusty rims(like I had on my old rig) the rust will mess up your tubes over the years.

Re: Rim Liners?
If you have your tires and tubes off the rims already ---- YES install the liner. First sand down the inside of your rims anyways to create as smooth a surface as you can. Light coat of primer, light coat of rustoleum allow to dry then install your rubber liner and proceed to install the tire and tube.
I did mine in 2001 and have not had any issues with flats! Check your tire pressure along with all other routine maintenance and you will not have any issues!

Re: Rim Liners?
The flap that is mentioned is probably what we (Michigan) called a boot. like someone above mentioned they were used to get more miles out of a otherwise bad tire. Some were so large that you could feel the thump as you went down the road.

Re: Rim Liners?
A flap is not a boot and maybe not the best for a drop center rim I guess.

Re: Rim Liners?
Not sure what the term is over there but that is called "Going commando" here. Only happens when the husband arrives home early.

Personally, I like Gorilla Tape. It is like duct tape, but much more durable.

Would you believe me if I said that was the American spelling? My wife found that excuse worked for almost anything when she studied in Oxford. Actually, I debated where to put the apostrophe, so I actually took a moment to look up how the sellers spelled it. I found three variations: Gaffer's Tape; Gaffers' Tape; and Gaffer Tape. The most common I found was Gaffer's Tape. Ken (the chagrined)
