Bike smiths always come through😁
This worked exactly as it should.
This strip will keep the ends of the wheel spokes from causing friction rub on your tire tube. They send them with each tire order. Use them.
After several days of back and forth emails to get the correct size, turns out, they were out of the size I needed. It wasn't worth sending back the incorrect order, so no restitution was made.
Over the heads of the spokes, that is.
