I used this for bike tubeless rim tape. It is a little thicker than some other tapes I have used. It functions just as well as tubeless-specific tape, but costs much less. It sticks to the rim well, seals well, and has held up for several months.

We got this because we read that it would be a good replacement for tubeless bike wheel set up, where the brand names like Stans and Muc-off cost so freaking much money. At first my son was saying it didn’t have any stickiness, but it turned out his rim was somehow kind of greasy despite being tubeless for years (he had to retape after replacing a couple spokes). I cleaned his whole rim thoroughly with acetone and now this tape sticks fantastic. I think it is just blue Stans.

Al principio estaba a un precio muy accesible tipo AliExpress y valía la pena no es de alta calidad pero funciona si lo cl.para al de Stans pero ahora que está super caro no lo recomiendo con ese precio te armas el original de Stans

The tape is identical to the tapes found holding appliance doors during shipping. Glad to have found this product. Unlike masking tape which will leave a residue glue on the surface, this tape is clean to remove.I just used it today on an installation where a plastic cover mould would not press fit into place on a large patio door between the door frame. Applied Silicone to the plastic divider, and held it in place with this multi purpose tape. Very strong adhesive; yet easily peels off. Great contractors trick to keep in the toolbox. And glad to see it was made in Canada!

I own a bike shop where I build custom bikes for various terrains and styles. I've decided to use this tape for my tubeless setups. It stretches enough to conform to the inners of the rim, including the bead area. I double wrap them to ensure ample sealing with no leaks. This tape does that perfectly and seems to have more adhesion than the other popular brand I had been using. I won't be using anything else now.

This is the same stuff that is 2x or 3x that is marketed for tubeless setup on your MTB. This is nice and wide and you get A LOT more of it than with the other stuff.It's easy to install. Two times around the rim should be fine. I decided to go with a third wrap and it's been holding air from the get go.Great product and great value.

Using as tubeless tape for tubeless bike wheels. Width was perfect for 22mm inner width rim. I did 2 layers carefully, limiting bubbles and working out as many as possible after. Tue mounted first try and has been stable. Success!

I opted for this tape than the much more expensive rolls of dedicated bicycle rim tape designed for tubeless tire conversion. In fact, there is much speculation that this is the exact same tape at a lower price!I was able to triple layer tape two rims and I still have plenty left for at least two more of the same treatment. Filled with sealant, the tires have held air for about a month now. Only time will tell how long the tape holds, but it's working now and I have no reason to suspect that it will fail!

Best bang for buck rimless tape, there are a few small bubbles from the adhesive not sticking. I have no clue as to how it performs as an office product.

Perfect economical alternative to Stan’s, easier to work with than Gorilla Tape. Ibis uses this in their rims now. I have used Gorilla Tape in the past. It works well, but you’ll learn new curse words when trying to get all of the adhesive off. The 8896 comes off easily and creates a good seal. I use 2 layers of the 24mm for my Ibis rims. It doesn’t interfere with the tire bead like multiple layers of Gorilla Tape can sometimes do.

I've used a variety of different tapes to convert standard bike rims to tubeless compatible, for both cyclocross and road applications. Stan's was expensive for the quantity I got, which doesn't leave much room for error. Unfortunately, I errored and couldn't hold air for much more than a day or two. Well, I didn't want to shell out more for the low quantity, so I tried Gorilla tape next. It's inexpensive, quite sticky, but I still wasn't getting a great seal. At least there was enough to try taping the rims multiple times... That tape was also quite thick, so mounting a tight road tire (Schwalbe pro one tubeless) was incredibly difficult.Then I found this Scotch packing tape. Inexpensive, thin, sticky, but not a bear to work with. No more messing around: starting with a bare rim, I first taped over each spoke hole individually, pressing out any air bubbles on each one. Then, because my rims are narrower than the tape, I unrolled the length I needed and cut it down the middle, length wise. Then I taped the rim keeping one half-width strip tight to the inside bottom of the sidewall, then used the second strip tight to the other side bottom of side wall. Pressed out all the air bubbles again and cut the opening for the Stan's valves.Go time: I had previously had an infuriating experience with Stan's tape, valves, and Hutchinson fusion tubeless tires. Many calories were burned and new expletives were created in the process of just getting that setup to seat properly with a floor pump. Lots of sealant was leaked onto my garage floor as well. This time around, I invested in Schwalbe's Pro One Tubeless. While they were a bear to mount, I simply injected my sealant, and pumped with my floor pump with barely more effort than a standard tube tire setup. No sealant was leaked. The seal on both wheels was perfect from the start. Pumped both tires to 80 psi and they've been holding all day.TLDR version? Great tape, great price, great performance so far. And lots left to use on my other wheels!
