I believe its there too stop the tyre dropping into the bead well if you get a puncture. But numerous punctures later and ive never had a problem with that happening.

It isnt on any of the excel rims i have on my other bikes, or the ktm front wheels i use with my WP conversion. Infact Ive never seen it on any other tubed rim before.

I found the easiest way too remove it is with a very course file. I believe its called a ******* file. (b-a-s-t-a-r-d) And then smooth it off with a finer file. Ill take pics next time i have a tire off.
