WTB TCS Rim Tape

Your rim tape should be slightly wider than the internal width of your rim bed to ensure it covers the spoke holes completely and seals against the sidewalls. Measure the internal width of your rim and choose a tape width that matches or is 1-2mm wider for the best fit.

Yes, you can use this tape with tubes, but it is specifically engineered to create the airtight seal required for tubeless systems. It serves as an excellent, durable rim strip that protects your inner tube from spoke holes and sharp edges.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Clean your rim bed thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol first to ensure a strong bond, then apply the tape while keeping it taut to prevent air bubbles or wrinkles.

This tape is designed to be durable and resistant to high tire pressures, so it maintains its integrity without stretching or peeling. However, it is good practice to inspect the tape whenever you replace your tires to ensure the seal remains intact.

An 11-meter roll is generous and will typically cover about five to six standard 29-inch wheels. It is a practical length for riders who maintain multiple bikes or want to keep extra tape on hand for future tire changes.
