Use duct tape to hold each end of the rim strip in place where they meet at the valve hole in the rim. This adds further protection against slipping strips and gives a touch of protection to the tube valve when it is inserted into the valve hole. Use a pen to make a hole in the duct tape and lay the tape against the edge of the valve hole for that added tube valve protection. Now there is a whole lot when it comes to building wheels right. Spoke length, tensioning, using spoke prep. and so on. If you have more technical questions you may contact Dave Fisher (bike master) by linking to him within my followers section here on my blog page. He can build you a set no sweat if needed.
