Hi, I just wanted to find out what rim tapes would be suitable for my wheel.

Alex DM 24.

The original rim tape is 16mm, and fits perfectly but, could I use a 19mm one instead (having trouble to find 16mm)?

    Which is not the thickness of the well the rim tape fits into, so internal width is irrelevant, measure the width of the well, you can get away with rim tape upto about 2mm wider than the well.
