Latex tube and campagnolo zonda c17

The manual says that because of MOMAG technology, you don't need to use rim tape. What about the use without rim tape with latex tube (Michelin Aircomp Latex (A1) inner tube)?

If needed, is it possible to use 20mm? No other is sold in my country. :(

I did not find any information on the manufacturer's website.

Why would you need to use rim tape? There are no spoke holes.

That's a shallow center. Adding rim tape would only make tires even harder to get on.

I live in a mountainous area, so here rim tape is still an opportunity to protect the tube from overheating the rim.

Another thought was that latex is a more sensitive and delicate material than regular tube.

Couldn't find any feedback from those who would use Zonda C17 with latex without rim tape.

The tube will not heat your rim.

What I was trying to say was that the rim would heat the latex tube on serpentine descents of several tens of kilometers, where the rim heats up considerably.

You're overthinking this.

That's why I run disks now, but why use brakes?
