Our black tubeless tape is thinner than the yellow tape option; therefore, it is more flexible and adapts better to rim profiles with a very deep center channel, although it is less resistant and durable than the yellow version. Once finished with the installation, it is important to use scissors to round off the corners at the end of the tape to prevent it from peeling off prematurely.

A useful tip to ensure our newly applied tape adheres correctly and lasts much longer is to first mount the wheel with an inner tube (Presta valve) for a few hours after taping. The pressure of the inner tube inside the wheel and against the tape will optimize its adhesion to the rim. To finish the tubeless setup, simply remove the tube and install the tubeless valve along with the tire.

FAQs

How to choose your tape or rim strip to make your tire tubeless-ready?

The rim bed should look like this:

Next two options are incorrect:

Finally, to choose the width of the right tape for your rim, you can do it by measuring the width of the rim strip. To do this, it is best to disassemble your wheel, remove and measure the tire's rim strip, provided it covers the bed of the rim well. Measure it on a flat surface, because if you do it on the rim itself, being concave, the measurements will not be correct. If your wheel does not have a rim strip, cut a piece of paper a width that appears to fit and set it into the rim, adapting it to its concavity, checking if the width is correct or needs fewer or additional millimeters.

Does the air not leak out with only adhesive tape and a valve tightened by hand?

Once you install the tape and valve, you can mount the tire and test by inflating the tire. But until you add the sealant liquid it won´t be perfectly air tight. The sealant will perfectly cover all holes and micropores that lead to slow leaks.

How does it cover the holes in the rim?

With tubeless rim tape. There are three options and filaments tape is the cheapest but least durable of all options. Clean the rim bed well. Apply 2 rounds of filament tape as you would normal rim tape but tensing slightly to avoid any bubbles and for the tape to adapt to the concave rim bed. Now place any rim tape over the filament tape to prolong its durability.

Rim tape instalation tip:

Once you have applyed the tape or rim strip, which ever type you use, mount the tire and tube and leave inflated for a few hours or overnight. This will ensure that the tape or cover adheres to the rim bed properly. The next day, desmount the tube and finialize the tubeless-ready process.
