how thick should the tape be for a regular mtn bike rim?&gt;

The width of the tape doesn't matter as the point of the tape is to cover the spoke heads and this provides plenty of coverage of that. The thickness of the tape is plenty thick to avoid a puncture. One roll is enough to cover one rim plus little extra leftover. I use this on all my bikes--time trial, touring, urban commuter, etc. THis would be fine for your mountain bike rim.

On the bike I got, the tires were an issue. They are 700 X 37 or close to that. The tread is thin and prone to flats. I had 2 from thorns on the same trip. Bought tire liners and thorn resistant tubes which have helped. Definitely not mountain bike tires.

The 36 is the # of spokes. I used this rim with a 26 x 1.95 tire. The rim is 1.5 inches wide so it accommodates the bigger tire on mountain bikes. You should check your tire size. I believe you may need a slimmer rim. I thought that model used a slim tire.

It is a six hole configuration.gob0go is correct about needing rim tape for this rim.

Update, I'm running 32mm confidentials and have put five tubes in now. Its just the front. The foam tape failed, the velux French rim tape walked twice or more and now I'm trying drilling/chasing the little holes (4near valve stem +2 ) and using the red protector from old rim.

It's 100m. The number of wheels will depend on diameter of the wheels and any waste so you can't be exact. But it definitely works out cheaper than separate rim tape.

It has a bit of slack on mine for a thicker tube. if not, you can add a large Zip tie not only to fit it but to secure it from people taking it. I zip tie everything on my bike anyway. I live in NY.

I'm unsure, however keep in mind that this is not a lube - it is an adhesive. Used to keep brake pads stuck to mounts so there is no movement, hence quiet. I have never disassembled a mtn bike disc brake, only replaced the rotor.

I bought a set for my RZR XP 1000 1.5", I had to use rubber tape to make them fit the bar. The rubber tape acts like a shock absorber. 50 hours over rough terrain and still holding strong...

TapeBuddy tools will run Strait-Flex tape. The tool has two setting for apply compound thickness. When running Strait-Flex use the "more mud" setting. You'll have to measure the tape to cut it at the right length.I only use Strait-Flex on odd angle corners and not for normal corners. It's a lot more expensive and not necessary. The key using a TapeBuddy tool is the coating on the tape. This makes the tape hard with drywall and has no blisters.

I put the calipers on my bike post and it shows it to be one and one-sixteenth inches (1-1/16"); I had to use two of the three plastic shims that come with it to make the rack fit properly on the post. Without taking the rack off to measure the opening without any shims in place, it appears it should accommodate a post upwards of 1-1/4" thick. With all three shims in place it should probably fit a post as small as 1", or possibly just a little less. The three shims included should allow it to fit about any standard post, I would think, but not sure what acceptable standard post sizes really are.

You can buy velox tape in different widths. Make sure you measure your rim width.

The rim is a double wall, with the narrow drop center rim tape...10mm I believe. LBS thought I was crazy looking for tape that narrow.

Really interesting hyperlink article posted by Bruce, from competitvecyclist. Personally I can't get my head around a smaller contact patch on a larger tire, but I'm no one to argue with these guys. I used to ride sportbikes. everything equal (same tire model), we assumed we were getting a larger contact patch, with the larger model. That's why we went for larger tires (same aspect ratio of course). but interesting article!!

Depends on the distance from the brake shaft hole to the rim. Also the width of you rim, but not as much. These are designed more for MTBs, i.e. 38mm to 50mm wide rims & 79mm to 99mm reach. They are quite long for standard road bikes.

I want to purchase a tube that is puncher resistance for my bicycle 700x32by45 be better ..I have deep V type rims my tire size are 700x 32

I don't know the answer to your question. I suspect that there is a mismatch between the tube size and your rim and/or tire size. You can do a lot of research on the interned about tire, rube and rim sizes and it can be quite confusing. I would recommend a bicycle shop for the answer. Good luck.
