Stan's NoTubes Rim Tape for Rim Interior (30 MM)

I’ve been using Stan’s NoTubes Rim Tape for my mountain bike tubeless setups and have found it to be a dependable choice. The tape is available in various widths (21mm to 39mm), allowing for a good fit across different rim sizes. When applied correctly, it provides a durable, long-lasting seal that doesn’t leave sticky residue upon removal.Pros:• Effective Seal: Once properly installed, the tape maintains air pressure effectively, even under rugged trail conditions.• Clean Removal: Unlike some alternatives, it doesn’t leave behind adhesive residue, making maintenance easier.• Variety of Sizes: The range of widths ensures compatibility with most rim dimensions.Cons:• Installation Requires Precision: The tape lacks flexibility, making it less forgiving during application. Ensuring a clean rim surface and applying the tape with adequate tension is crucial to avoid air bubbles and ensure a proper seal.• Not Ideal for Non-Tubeless Rims: Users attempting “ghetto” tubeless conversions on non-tubeless rims have reported challenges in achieving a reliable seal.Tips for Best Results:• Cleanliness is Key: Thoroughly clean the rim with isopropyl alcohol before application to ensure optimal adhesion.• Proper Tension: Apply the tape with firm tension, pressing it into the rim bed to avoid air pockets.• Layering: For pressures under 45psi, one layer suffices. For higher pressures, a second layer is recommended.Final Thoughts:Stan’s NoTubes Rim Tape is a solid choice for riders with tubeless-ready rims seeking a reliable seal. While the installation demands attention to detail, the performance payoff is worth the effort. However, those with non-tubeless rims or seeking an easier application process might explore more pliable alternatives

Stan’s has been my go-to for tubeless since I made the switch. This rim tape damn near perfect and, when used correctly, goes on with with no bubbles or hassles. Plus, it cleans up well in case you need to remove it.Ok, to the point of the people saying it goes on lumpy or crinkled or full of air bubbles, here’s the deal:You. Have. To. Clean. Your. Rims. Thoroughly.And I mean it. Every speck if dust, grease, body oil, old sealant, or adhesive needs to come off your rim. That’s true for any tubeless tape. This is a long process. Expect to spend at least an hour per rim getting it spotless. Plus, application technique matters a lot as well. I use acetone to make sure the rim surface is properly prepped, and still pull up a Park Tool instructional video to make sure I’m applying it correctly.Take your time, do it right, and this tape is an absolutely ideal choice for your rims. Ride safe!

Seals the rim as it should. Watch a YouTube video so you do it right the first time.

Seals tight and stays put. Easy to install.

I love the sealant but this tape is tough to work with since it is stiff and low-tack.

I have honestly been using Stans products - Rims, This Tape & sealant for years @ Bike parks & trails without fail.Going tubeless lets me run lower tire pressure giving me a smother ride with bump compliance adding to what I believe, better overall rolling resistance and speed.Is tubeless more work & somewhat messy..? Yes, but my bike & me have returned home time after time bashing down rock gardens, sidewall snake bites, goathead stickers, cactus thorns, blasting berms, drops to flat, big jumps and whips that don’t fully return before landing. Only time I thought about walking was after a rear 1” sidewall cut from a rock. But then I decided to ride it down flat knowing my Stans EX3 & Cush Core were still there. The tire was completely destroyed after my run down. I removed the thrashed tire, wiped it all off, reinstalled a replacement tire & 3 oz of new sealant. After some lunch my buddy & me were back up the bike park to punish the rocks & dirt.That being said, you need to do your due dilligence in the maintenance process yearly, to get every benefit possible from every product including Stans. This tape is essential in getting your rim properly sealed right off the bat.There are other reliable brands out there but for me, Stans is my go to for keeping me & my bike running.

Does not stick. Carbon wheel cleaned with simple green and then alcohol. Totally spotless and film free. Tape does not stick. Have used product before with good results. May be old product...don't really know. Ended up using gorilla tape.

First time taping a rim, cleaned it with alcohol, did on the frame, took my time pressing out most of the air.holds air
