I know the rim tape goes right under the bead on the MGB and it has no problem. I could definitely see against having that go up the wall, but to me it seems like a good application for making some DIY bands with the old tubes.

Maybe I'm just totally off base though.

Perfect answer to this issue and something dad used to do on his motorcycle spoked wheels.- obviously if the spokes are sharp on the inside of the rim causing the puncture, then they'll need smoothing in the first place. As for can puncture repair jollop, I know it's been used before but I'd only trust a patch on a tube as a repair. - Obviously it's different with a tubeless tyre. I carry both jollop can and cycle puncture repair kit.
