Folks at world,

After asking the list about the use of duct tape on wire wheels to protect 
the inner tube against chaffing I received many replies.  Thanks to all for 
these!

The opinions were all the same.  Do NOT use duct tape!.. Apparently it 
becomes messy and absorbs water causing rust on the inside of the wheel 
rim.  I am thus suggesting to all and sundry that the correct item ''Rim 
Band'' should be used - or they can be made from old/new inner tubes 
cutting them radially.

Regards
