8898 in blue or yellow is similar to Stans but more flexible and stronger and 55yd at 25mm at Amazon for like $7. I have 23mm ID rims and works perfect. 898 is thinner with nylon reinforcement. I put a round of 898 in center over the holes or close and the 8898 over that. Some say two rounds of 8898 and no 898 works too. To be honest 1 round of 8898 would work if your holes are machined smooth.
