The pair of wheels that came with my Hobbs had the right rims and tires but the wrong hubs. So when I built up a set of wheels, I moved the tires, tubes and rim tape over.
To my surprise, the rim tape was cloth with a metal clip over the valve hole. The clip made the tape adustable and strengthened the valve hole area.
I've never seen this before, but looks like a great solution, especially for the severely "period correct" types among us.
Are these things still available?
Happy New Year
