Stan's NoTubes Rim Tape for Rim Interior (27 MM)

Worked well for me

Kind of surprised at the negative reviews and it made me second guess going with Stans tape. But I went ahead and purchased since it was the only rim tape I could get delivered next day. I have a set of Stans Arch MK3 tubeless ready wheels which had already been set up tubeless when I purchased them 2 years ago. After getting my tired punctured recently I put on a new tire but I kept losing air. Once I realized it was leaking through the spoke holes I pulled the tire off and found that the existing rim tape was ripped in places (I guess I was too aggressive with my tire levers when I initially repaired on trail. It was also folded in certain sections allowing air to escape through the spoke holes. So I stripped off the existing tape and spent a good deal of time cleaning the rim to ensure a good adhesion for the new tape. This entailed removing all the old sealant off the rim (after washing with Dawn I used Goo b Gone to get rid of the dried sealant) and then using rubbing alcohol around the entire rim. After I was satisfied that I had removed all the old sealant and any fibers from the rag I was using I was ready to tape. Applying the tape (I used 27mm tape for a 25mm inner width rim as recommended by Stans) was pretty easy and I had no problem whatsoever with adhesion. I also only used one layer with a slight overlap over the valve hole. I then pressed down on the tape going over the edge on both sides around the whole wheel as well as over the center just to ensure the tape was as sealed as I could make it. Put the valve in and secured with the nut. Put the tire back on using the sealant that was left over before I swapped the tape. Inflated to 35psi with a hand pump and had no issues getting the tire bead seated. Checked for leakage and couldn't find any. I'll ride later today but don't expect any issues.Only reasons I can think of why someone had issues would be the following: (1) Do you have "tubeless ready" rims and tires? If not, this tape will not work. (2) Are you using the right tape width for your rim width? Tape should be slightly wider, i.e. 2mm. (3) Is your rim TRULY clean? Like anything else adhesion will not be good if the tire (or your hands) are not clean and free of oils/grease/dirt/dust. (4) Has the tape been stored properly? As soon as I peeled off the first layer of tape from the roll I could tell it was "sticky" but I know that if I left the roll in my garage for several seasons it would probably not have the same adhesion characteristics. For those new to running tubeless there are lots of videos out there that walk you through these steps.

Stan’s invented the process that let us ditch the tubes in our mountain bike tires and go tubeless. I’m not saying they are the only game in town. They aren’t, but Stan’s has built a lot of tubeless credibility in the last 22 years. Their products work and work well and I trust them from their rim tape to hold, their sealant to seal. Just make sure you clean the rim well with isopropyl alcohol and use the correct tape width. In most cases, the tape you need is wider than the specified rim width. The FAQ on Stan’s website has all the info you need. Follow Stan’s guidance and you’ll enjoy tubeless success.

Sticks well, holds air, goes around and around. Doesn't get much better than this.Maybe the yellow is a little bit of a bland color, they could offer some more colors or graphics so it isn't so boring.

Just follow instructions and do it yourself

Just take your time to put it right, before anything clean the surface

We depend on our tires. The integrity of our tires is the only thing that is between us and the road/dirt.I received a roll of tape that looks like it was put in the toilet. The quality control of Stan's is not something I am willing to stake my life on.

When on easy. It's been fine for months.

Lässt sich easy montieren und hält das Tubeless setup dicht.

Ottimo. Già conoscevo il prodotto.

Installation facile et bonne étanchéité.Ne pas oublié le liquide preventif ça peut servir en cas de crevaison.

Always a trusted product when you buy Stan’s
