Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Clean the rim interior thoroughly to remove any old tape, adhesive, or debris. Ensure the rim is completely dry. Starting at the valve hole, carefully apply the tape, maintaining firm, even pressure to avoid wrinkles or air bubbles. Overlap the tape by a few inches where the ends meet, and ensure it extends wall-to-wall across the rim bed. Puncture the tape carefully at the valve hole to install the valve stem.
Compatibility: This tape is designed for use with both alloy and carbon rims. Always select a tape width that is 1-2mm wider than the internal width of your rim for optimal coverage and sealing. Consult the Stans NoTubes website or resources if unsure about your rim's internal width.
Care: The tape itself requires minimal care once applied. If you need to remove it for servicing or a tire change, peel it away slowly. If any adhesive residue remains, it can typically be removed with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the rim bed is clean before reapplying new tape.
