Muc-Off Tubeless Rim Tape for Tubeless Bike Tyre Setups, 25mm, 10m

If you ever thought of saving money, doing your tubeless setup with gorilla tape like I did...don't. This tape is sooooo much better, put on per instruction, tyres seated without the fluid

I've used this particular tape on a few bikes and wheels now and its my go to. It does its job well and offers good value for money. Its easy to fit, comes in a range of sizes, the colour makes it easy to visually check alignment and it doesn't stretch or deform. It's also tough enough to survive a few tyre replacements without damage from tyre levers.

Small note, this was my first time prepping a wheel to run tubeless, bike came with it set up but needed to replace a tire after nearly 18months, so let that help frame my level of experience first. The tape had good adhesion but it wasn't particularly strong, Stan's tape was already on the rim but dirty and a little worn so thought it best to replace the tape before adding sealant etc. The tape adhered to the rim but also came off very quickly and wasn't that flexible laterally as I needed to rework sections to remove air bubbles and have it flush all round. That made it difficult. However, because of it being a very plastic style tape (basically heavier, branded sellotape), when I made a small hole for the valve before feeding the valve through the tape tore and expanded to a larger hole than the valve bung (for context I used a pin to puncture and then the valve stem). This widening meant I had air escaping through the valve hole, but there were also leaks from the spokes around the rim. So I ended up ripping it all of and starting again. Same problem. Third time I decided to go round the rim twice with the tape and it finally managed to seal properly and finally have no air leaks from the wheel itself. So overall, yeah my technique could be called into question, but perhaps this isn't the best variant for an MTB wheel running tubeless. Local Evans bike shop where I went for the valves said in future use gorilla tape, so might give that a go next time!

I've tried a lot of tape and this is one of the best. It has a good amount of stickyness but it removable without leaving too much of a mess, it has a little bit of give/stretch but also seems very strong. The only downside is I feel it could be just a little bit thicker, on some wheel/tyre combos it may need two layers. It applies very well once you have the knack, which is shown in the installation video on YouTube (be sure to watch it first else you will waste tape, talking from experience). Basically clean the rim very thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol & ensure the spoke holes are free from burrs. Then roll off about 20-30cm at a time and whilst holding some tension on the tape, press the tape down into the groove of the rim. Once this is done go around & ensure the tape is seated into the tyre bead channels. Don't do as I did and try the other way around (concentrate on the tyre bead channels first) as it'll end up wrinkled. Also you will need wider tape than the rims, I used 35mm on my 30mm inside width rims.

I used this tape on three rims, 1x.27.5 and 2x 29's. The 27,5 was a little more narrow and therefore took a little more time to install. I did remove the old tape but failed to clean the rim and edge of the tyre, which resulted in the tyre not sealing on a manual pump. Only when connected to a compressor did the tyre seal. TIP: When using new value inserts, go larger on the seal plug in the inside of the rim. Yes you can test the fit first, just do not use the smallest seal plug as it is a mission to take of the tyre which has new tyre sealant inside. On the 29 rims, I removed the the old tape, cleaned the inside of the rim and removed the old sealant around the edge of the tyre which sits on the inside of the rim. Applying new tape was easier on these wider rims, making sure the tape fitted correctly in the inside edge. I used the existing value, as I did not replace it. Added in the tube sealant and manually pumped the tyre, which sealed within seconds. Yes the tyre/s were on both bikes when using the manually pump. I will see if there is enough tape for two more 29 rims, totalling 5 rims.

worked like a charm!

Great rim tape that was easy to apply and has solved an air leakage issue that I had before! Not the cheapest but the peace of mind is worth it.

Does the job. I had to reapply to one of the wheels though, I am not sure if it was my fault or the tapes but never had to do that with other brands

Sehr tolles Band was mega angenehm zu verarbeiten ist. Hält beide Felgen jetzt seid einer Saison Luftdicht. Klebt prima in der Felge, kann man aber auch ohne Probleme noch einmal kurz abziehen,falls man schief geraten ist.

Excellent comme toujours avec cette marque

Adhère parfaitement, facile à poser. Assure un montage tubeless propre et durable.

lies sich nicht wirklich gut kleben und hat nicht gut gehaftet. Da habe ich von Muc-Off etwas mehr erwartet.

Good quality rim tape, easy to apply. Seems to stick good.
