It's a weight thing, apparently. Saves about half of the weight of the rim tape (wow).
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

they came with my Peter White wheels - so easy to install!!! and fun. a bit like popping the bubble wrap that wraps fragiles.
now that they're in - I really don't see a difference, but I don't think you really would.
I expect they'll be more durable than rim tape.Sarah

I'm thinking about using them in my American Classics which I hope will be here next week.

Yeah, I was thinking for weight. I want my new wheels to be as light as possible."Being retired from Biking...isn't that kinda like being retired from recess?" Stephen Colbert asked of Lance Armstrong

I'm building a new wheelset myself and I am definately going to use Veloplugs for weight and ease. I think SadieKate has them and she likes them.
