Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Ultimate Rim Protection: Stan's NoTubes Rim Tape for Rim Interior - 10 Yards by Aaron Urena

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult to use. No stretch.

Like the others mentioned I had problems with this tape as well. Adhesion is fine, it should be pressure sensitive so it only sticks when pressure is applied. However, the tape does not stretch and therefore it is very difficult to adapt it to the shape of the rim. I've used it to tape my tubeless carbon cyclocross rims, but the tape creases, blisters underneath and doesn't hold pressure at first. These creases and bubbles take up space in the center channel of the rim, making tire installation significantly more difficult. Later, when the sealant closes all the bumps, it will hold the pressure better. After reading more reviews I ordered another band with more stretch. I will report this later.
