Kenda Hi-Pressure Wheelchair Rim Strips, Pair
A tube that keeps failing on the inner side, facing the rim, usually points to a worn rim strip. These Kenda strips are made of polyester fabric tape with an adhesive backing, so they stay in place and do not stretch into the spoke holes under high pressure. They are rated for 110 psi and above and come as a pair in three versions for 540, 559 and 590 wheelchair rims.

Kenda Hi-Pressure Wheelchair Rim Strips (pair): common questions
How do I know my rim strip needs replacing?
Look for a strip that has shifted, split or sunk into the spoke holes, or for punctures on the rim side of the tube.
Why fabric tape and not rubber?
Rubber bands can deform into spoke holes at high pressure. Fabric tape holds its shape.
Is the strip width stated?
No. The retailer lists wheel diameter only.
