Burs in the Nimbus 36 SE Rim

Rim tape is usually used even on a double-walled rim, at least in my
experience. But having said that, the wheel builder should check for
and remove any burrs as a normal part of building the wheel. So
building it with no rim tape AND leaving the burrs on is certainly
cause for complaint!

uh, you always need a rim strip with double walled rims. under any kind
of pressure(enough to ride on certainly) the tube will go into the
nipple hole and create a little bubble and pop. maybe no instantly, but
soon. use a good rim strip, not a crappy rubber band-esque one. the
burs should be removed during the wheel build, but it's fairly common
to have a few left over/get missed. file it lightly and use a rim
strip.

Or you could use a real deburring tool:

If there's a job, there's a right tool for it.

Black electrical tape works too. And for that matter it comes in
colors, get whatever the hell color you feel like.

An easy way to show one's ignorance on a subject is to make a link to a
totally unrelated website. Translation: you don't know what you're
talking about. A "real" deburring tool that would work from a place
that has the business of selling them: http://tinyurl.com/22lhat

The deburring tool which you linked to is just a multiflute countersink
with a high markup from a place that has no business selling it. A
blade deburring tool like the one I linked to is the best for this job,
since the holes aren't through a flat surface, so it'll be hard to get
the lower burrs with a round tool.

Never go without a rim strip.

for rim tape i like velox but any sturdy cloth or plasticy tape will
work. the bike shop should have a few different varieties. seriously
though, the best way to get a non-rubber band one is to ask for a
better one. the crappy elastic black ones wear out very quickly(couple
years at best, couple months at worst) and better quality stuff will
last a long time, like say a decade.

I think your post was exceptionally rude, and would encourage you to apologize
if you don't want to come across as being a total [censored].

In future, I'd like to invite you to save everyone the trouble of reading your
insulting drivel and just STFU.

ehh
decades?
in a rim w/ no holes, sure, but a drilled rim= probably not.

and tony, heed your own advice... you could have said what you wanted a
whole lot nicer...

I apologize. My phrasing was rude. Your response to it was fair. But I
think my point stands. Inside my "insulting drivel" was the idea that
your suggestion was no different from the suggestion which you claimed
to one-up, and I went beyond this claim to provide a further superior,
and cheaper method of solving the problem.

Whatever though. I'm glad you found my post interesting enough to use
the fun description of "insulting drivel".

As rude as your original post was at least you made a valid point about
using the right tool for the job and gave a reason why (the resulting
circular edge to be deburred was no longer on a flat plane). Tony on
the other hand responded with a post far exceeding what you did.

I didn't feel that the type of deburring tool you posted would be the most
appropriate for this particular job. If the wrong size bit was purchased, you'd
just end up bottoming out the tool in the hole, or running into the sides of the
rim; and once you're over that hurdle you'll still run a higher risk of gouging
the holes due to the fact that you're running it on fairly thin material.

On the other hand, if we were shortening a seat tube here and needed to clean
the burrs out of the inside of the cut, then that would be the perfect tool to
use.

Sir:

You will be hearing, shortly, from my colleagues at the Wrong-Tool
deFamation League, outlining -at length- the many contributions WT's
have made to civilization and a statement, in simple layman's terms,
illuminating the damage caused by so casually impugning the
efficaciousness of utilizing a so-called wrong tool. (No need to
bring up the Needless Sentence Diagramming Support Group, now, is
there?)

Good day.

This isn't worth arguing about. Apathy takes hold too quickly. And yet I
forge on:

You'd have to be "deburring" a ripped-open soda can before the
deburring tool became too unwieldy to use. Even then, a soft touch
would prevent mishap. A rim is of great enough wall thickness that a
gorilla could use the tool I linked to without mishap. Furthermore, the
issue of rim-wall clearance is null with proper use of the tool.
Whatever though. It's not like a unicyclist forum has any interest in
proper blade-deburring tool techniques.

good night.
