Subject: [CR] Applying Cloth Rim Tape questions


Before rubber rim tape came along, the British used cloth rim tape. It looked like a very thin and long bandage with a funny metal clip on one end.

Silly question:

How tight should I pull on the tape when applying it and how many loops to make with the left over?

When did these go out of fashion?
