Tubeless Rim Tape – Airtight Performance, Easy Setup
Converting to tubeless? Replacing a worn-out strip? The right tubeless tape makes all the difference. Whether you're riding rough trails or logging long road miles, high-quality rim tape is essential for creating an airtight seal between your tire and rim.
At Bicycle Warehouse, we carry a wide range of tubeless rim tape options for mountain, gravel, and road bikes: all designed to handle high pressures, irregular rim profiles, and aggressive riding.
Why Use Tubeless Tape?
Tubeless tape forms a barrier that seals your rim’s spoke holes and creates a smooth surface for your tire bead. This lets you:
- Run lower tire pressures for better grip and control
- Prevent pinch flats and thorn punctures
- Reduce weight by ditching inner tubes
- Seal your wheels air-tight for leak-free performance
What to Look For in Tubeless Tape:
- Width that matches your internal rim size
- High tensile strength that resists stretching or tearing
- Pressure-rated adhesive that withstands air loss
- Clean edges for easy application and tire seating
Not sure which width you need? Check your rim’s internal width or contact us for expert advice.
Quick Tips for Installation:
- Clean your rim thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol
- Start opposite the valve hole and apply tension evenly
- Overlap the tape by 2–3 inches and press firmly
- Use a small hole punch for the valve stem
- Add sealant, mount your tire, and inflate
