The inner tubes of the widely used clincher tires up until the late 1920s were protected by the tire itself, whose side beads were placed between the tube and the rim.

When Harley-Davidson introduced the tires with wires in their beads that are still in use today, the balloon tires as they were called at the time, a solution was needed to protect the tube against friction and damage from the spoke nipple heads: a wide rubber strip was laid inside the rim. A nipple may be perfectly deburred, but even the slot and the threaded hole alone can render a tube useless.

Chafing strips are available in various diameters and widths, and for different valve hole positions.
