Shimano C24 wheel owners, do you use stock rim strip?

It comes with a plastic blue one and I read somewhere that many folks replace it. Are you guys doing that at all?
Thanks

Assuming you are talking about the non tubeless model I have never replaced it. I had two sets of C24's.

Same here. Why would you replace it?

I used the plastic blue strips on my DA9000 C35 that I bought back in 2013. I've had zero prolems with the rim strips, or the wheels themselves and I'm guessing I have 20K km on them.

The Shimano rim strip works great, but it's a bit overcooked.

I reckon some of that clear tape that has a few fibres running along it would work well enough and save a few grams.

Which rim tape you guys are using one the C24? I'm trying to find some narrow tubeless tape to fit C24.

Stans makes various widths for their tape. One wrapping of the wide tape is about 7g/wheel.
