Review on πŸ”’ Ultimate Rim Protection: Stan's NoTubes Rim Tape for Rim Interior - 10 Yards by Francisco Taylor

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Will not stick to rim

After the rim was cleaned with denatured alcohol, dried completely and wiped with a clean, dry cloth, Stan's No Tubes rim tape did not stick to the rim. He barely stayed to himself. I put it back in the package and intend to request a refund. I went to one of the local auto parts stores and bought a roll of Gorilla Tape. It fits the rim perfectly. Time will tell how well I sealed it, but it looks like it's not sealed well. Now I understand that it is non-refundable. I think I just spent $13.50 on a useless tape that doesn't work. After posting the above post, I emailed Yosemite through Revain asking for a refund for the defective band. At this point, they haven't even responded politely to my email. 7/20/18 It's been 2 weeks since I emailed Yosemite about a defective rim tape. So far no reaction from them. Reading the comments of some of the other reviewers, it seems like a bad batch mixed in with a good one. If you happen to get a good tape, chances are your results will be good too. If you get a bad tape, your results will repeat my results. The Gorilla Ribbon I use now works great. It worked on the first try and has held up ever since. And the cost of the Gorilla Tape is less than half of Stan's cost. I recommend forgetting about Stan and getting a Gorilla cartridge.
