Product Description
Royal Enfield 140355/B is the OEM rim tape (rim strip) used inside certain 18-inch spoked rims to protect the inner tube from spoke nipples and rim edges. A hardened, torn, or missing rim tape is a common cause of slow punctures and sudden tube failures—especially after tyre changes.
Also searched as: rim tape 18 inch, rim strip, spoke wheel rim band, tube protector, inner tube puncture protector.
Before you buy: Rim tape must match rim diameter and spoke nipple bed width. Confirm your wheel is 18-inch spoked rim and match 140355/B in your EPC/wheel diagram before ordering.

FAQs
Q1 (Fitment): How do I confirm 140355/B is correct?
Confirm your wheel is an 18-inch spoked rim and match 140355/B in your EPC/wheel diagram. Verify tape width matches nipple bed.
Q2 (Fitment): Is this for alloy wheels?
No. Rim tape is only for spoked rims (tube protection from spoke nipples).
Q3 (Comparison): Rim tape vs cloth tape?
OEM tape is sized for the rim and resists shifting. Incorrect tapes can move and expose nipples.
Q4 (Installation): How is it installed?
Clean rim bed, center tape over nipples, align valve hole, then refit tube/tyre carefully.
Q5 (Service): When should I replace rim tape?
When brittle/cracked, after major spoke work, or if you have repeated slow punctures.
Q6 (Returns-prevention): What should I send?
Photo of wheel size marking (18-inch) and rim width marking, plus bike model/year/BS or EPC screenshot.
