Nylon Rim Strips

Surly Nylon Rim Strips have one job and they do it well. They cover the cutouts in your rim and — if you’re running a tube — they protect it from spoke heads and other sharp matter (okay, so maybe they have TWO jobs but they do them both really well.) Rim strips are crucial and should be used with all Surly rims. 

They’re thin and offer minimal stretch so they stay put and lay nicely inside the rim to provide a secure seal. Plus, they’re lighter which we all know means you’ll go faster… maybe.
