Tyre flaps are used in spoke wheels for motorcycles and lorries to protect the tube from bumps in the rim base and especially from the nippels. A tyre flap is a rubber band which is placed in the rim base. Sometimes this flap is also necessary in riveted steel disc wheels. It is not necessary to change it every time you change the tyre but it should be well checked for faulty areas.
