Velox is at least 5x the thickness of Stan's tape and can make it extremely difficult to mount modern tire/rim combinations.
Yeah I love Velox but I think Stans may be the answer. I've also seen a few threads suggesting that there are industrial tape alternatives that will do the job at a lower price. No experience with this but some say it does the job,
