Tubeless setup

[komdotkom]

The stuff from AliExpress is great, I've still got a few rolls of Bear outdoor masking left but just use the Ali tape now because it's the correct width.

 

[Ackland]

Cloth tapes are heavy, don't stretch on, can absorb sealant (porous) and leave shite residue.

You can order 50m+ lengths of any width you desire from Ali.

3x wheelsets taped up so far with no leaks.

Yep I'm three for recommending Ali tape. I got some Ztto tape ages ago for $5 and it's a significant improvement over the bear outdoor tape.

Not this stuff though?

Ztto tubeless tape

Anyone else bought the ztto tubeless tape. I added some to an Aliex order and used it today after building a new wheel. Not sure if I'm going to leave it on, it doesn't seem very stick and not very stretchy so doesn't want to stick down in the rim well. It is thicker than the blue Bear...

That looks like the stuff I used. Was a bit stretchy but not super sticky. Taped a couple of wheels with it and worked well. At first it didn't seem to stick great but when I took the tyres off after a month or so it had pushed into the rim and sealed nicely. I did use one new rim and cleaned the other rime really well though.

I couldn't get it to stick down. Rim was new and thoroughly cleaned with alcohol. Even put a tube in for a day but it didn't stick.

That one in the middle looks like the tape Spank use. It is probably the worst tubeless tape I have ever used. Way to hard to conform to the rim profile, fairly thick, and almost no adhesive properties whatsoever. Had to hold the start of the tape run until you were ready to overlap and quickly pull your finger/thumb away and stick the overlap down so it didn't unravel the entire way around the rim at once. Cannot recommend strongly enough to avoid.

But those 50m rolls

10m rolls are ok for you lot who have a couple of your own bikes, I have a couple of hallions smashing rims regularly, 50m rolls for $17 are gold

25mm? That's CX talk. 30mm would be nice. That's what she said.

I'm waiting for old mate to poop up and tell us what Chinese riders use

Something from the Aussie version of Aliexpress?

That just sounds messy.

Haha, many products on Aliexpress Chinese riders will not use

This product is not used in China MTB riders, China is currently only one brand is recognized by the Chinese MTB riders

You misspelt XC....
