Orange Seal Tubeless Rim Tape

While this tape is specifically optimized for the wider profile of fat bike rims, it can technically be used on any rim that matches the 45mm width. However, it is overkill for standard mountain or road bike rims, where a narrower tape would be more appropriate and easier to apply.

A 60-yard roll is quite generous and will easily cover multiple wheelsets. Depending on your rim diameter and how many layers you choose to overlap, you can expect to tape at least 10 to 12 fat bike wheels.

Yes, proper preparation is critical for a reliable tubeless seal. You must thoroughly clean the rim bed with isopropyl alcohol to remove any grease, residue, or old sealant before applying the tape to ensure the adhesive bonds securely.

For most fat bike applications, a single layer is sufficient if applied carefully with consistent tension. However, if your rim bed has a deep center channel or rough surface, a second layer can provide extra insurance against leaks and pinch flats.

The polyethylene material has a slight amount of give, which is helpful for conforming to the rim's contours. You should apply firm, consistent tension as you lay it down to prevent air bubbles and ensure the adhesive creates a tight, airtight seal.
