that’s why you’re supposed to glue it on

Doesn’t the exposed rim make it unsafe, as in the tire can roll off?

No, I’ve done some faulty research which tell me it is carpet fibers. I mean it could have some funky cat hairs in it and I don’t trust cats.
Take care, JP (Just Pedal)
Note, I can’t refute the old crusty title you gave me

ah….there’s nothing like the smell of fresh glue, it’s part of the experience.
That said, tufo tape is not bad during a flat. But if you have time, I highly recommend gluing.

Why in my day we used glue to get it to adhere to the rim. They were called them sew-ups and we used dental floss to sew them up after a repair. Ah, the a prize of a silk makes me shutter with delight. Dang whipper snappers! Bikes are made of carpet fiber now too…gimme steel. LOL Five stars!! UFCF #02937S
