Just my 2 cents here, but I try get rim tape that doesn’t cover the rim bead. When you need to change tires and use the tire lever it will sometimes peel that bit of rim tape off which will either interfere with future beading or damage the current rim tape leading to you having to re-wrap the entire rim again. Just cover the middle and let the tire sealant do the rest 👌🏻
@Jamesthebikeguy
@Jamesthebikeguy 2 года назад
Solid two cents. Lots of ways to do the same thing, and I am certainty not insinuating this is the only/right way. In my experience has been that getting onto the sidewall has worked better. All too often in the beginning of tubeless I would take the tire off with the tubeless tape just in the center and it would peal up while unseating the bead. Then a nightmare to get sealed again. Not to mention the rim seam on poor quality wheels that would leak too. That's when I began just running tape a bit wider and so far so good.
@byronswogger
@byronswogger 2 года назад
Ragged I agree with you. Also with carbon rims there is no hook it's a flat bead seat. So tape on the side may interfere with proper tire seating.
@kidsafe
@kidsafe 2 года назад
Been using tubeless a long, long time and tape riding up the sides of the rim wall has always resulted in a better seal for me. The tape is much less likely to shift when you pop off the bead of an old tire.

@michaelviglianco6121

It depends on your rim. Welded rims only need tape to cover the center and bead seat. Sleeved or pinned rims are better off with tape that comes up the sides so that the tire to sleeve interface is sealed. This is why WTB recommends tape 5mm wider than the internal width.

I've never gone around more than once and only overlap a few inches. I would not use tape that wide, it shouldn't go up where the tire bead sits. like previous comments state, it will rip or wrinkle when levers are used to install/uninstall tires.

Interesting on your wrap start/stop. I watched the Stan’s video earlier and they said to start opposite the valve hole and only do just over 1 full circumference (~3” overlap) so only 1 layer is over the valve hole.
@labpartnerlp
@labpartnerlp Год назад
For low pressure applications one layer is sufficient and my guess is that Stan's worries that installers may mess up the overlap section making sealing around the valve stem harder. Road tubeless prefers a double wrap due to higher pressures.
@georgehsu1085
@georgehsu1085 2 года назад
Clever! I like it. Another thing I did was to pop in an old tube and inflate it with the tire overnight. The pressure pressed out all the bubbles.
@Jamesthebikeguy
@Jamesthebikeguy 2 года назад
Inflating the tube is a good way, but doing it smooth from the get go will avoid even needing to do that. Keep in mind every time you take your tire on and off there is a risk of damaging the tape so it would be my opinion to limit the chances. That said, if it works keep doing it!

There was a thread I saw somewhere years ago (this is worse than heresay!) but apparently ENVE did a test of various tapes and found gorilla tape was the best. Somewhere between big pharma, big tobacco, big oil and big-bike-rim-tape, they apparently buried the study. I use gorilla tape because you can customize the width to any rim by simply starting a tear wherever you want (the strip gets ever-so-much smaller with each rotation of the spool of tape, so don’t start too narrow!) and it’s way cheaper than overpriced, underperforming rim tape. The other thing is that gorilla tape is very sensitive to tire levers, especially if you *mount* the tires using levers. So if you haven’t got into the habit of mounting tires by hand alone, you might tear the gorilla tape with your lever…
