That strip is very good for that purpose. Just be certain to inspect the rear crank surface really well. Below is the last one I saw and it is a fine example of what a rope seal will do over time in a very humid climate...it will absorb and wick moisture to that area and you'll wind up with a pitted mess. Good luck!
