<h4 id="cant-i-just-use-gorilla-tape">Can&#x2019;t I just use Gorilla tape?</h4><p>We do not recommend the use of Gorilla tape or similar tapes in either our rims or those of other manufacturers. These types of tape are too thick to be used with our rims and their porous construction can allow moisture into the rim cavity, resulting in possible nipple corrosion issues. Additionally, they leave a residue mess when removed, making maintenance a chore.</p>
