DT Swiss Tape DT Tubeless Roll Rim

Arrived on time, as described, and my rims do leak with this product. Of all of the rim tapes I have used, DT Swiss applies the best and has the best durability. Using my taping technique and this tape, I do not need to smooth out air bubbles either. This is not the tape to remove from rims!

Whether running tubeless or used as rim-strips for wheels with tubes, this tape works as well as any. It's more expensive than most for reasons that aren't apparent. I'm guessing it's because DT Swiss has their name all over it so reputation is at stake. That said, it is a very good tape: thin, Lightweight, durable, and easy to apply.

This Rim tape is expensive, but it is a very hiqh quality thin and strong tape with very good adhesion. This is the stock tape used by DT Swiss at the factory. It is very strong, not quite as stretchy as some others and the adhesive is moderately strong. Once overlapped a the end, the adhesive will not allow the tape to unravel. This tape is pricey when compared to others, so it's a judgement call as to whether the extra price is worth it, if you have a good alternative. This tape is listed at 25mm and measures out exactly that width. It is the perfect size for the DT Swiss Dicut rim with internal width of 22mm.

Had very good luck with DT Swiss products through the years. Easier to install than other tubeless rim tape that I have used. Stiff enough that it holds its shape while applying to the inside of rim. It is also slightly sticky which helps keep it in place. Recommend that you purchase tape 2-3mm thicker than the inside of your rim. For example I used 21mm rim tape on a rim with an internal 18mm width. Recommend applying approx. 10-12 inches a time and then pressing it into place to smooth and remove any bubbles. Start a little before the valve hole and then overlap it 4-6 inches when you go all of the way around. Been using for over six months now and no leaks so far. If you are converting to tubeless, you will also need tubeless valves and sealant.

I installed it to my bike rim and was leaking all over the place. took the tire off and repeated the installation process again, same problem with leaks. Solution. Gorilla tape is the best, one application the tire was sealed and much cheaper too.

It is easy to apply and you can do it relatively quickly and it is less prone to bubbles forming , or not sealing in the channel like other tapes. It is expensive, but worth getting and can save you a lot of hassle because you don't have to re-do the tape job. You want to be close to your rim size as you can and if you are in the middle size up one size. If you go too wide, it will be harder to seal the channel.

Make sure you get the right width for the rim with tubeless tires. It must not be undersized. I tried it on a wider rim without success. But the right width works fine. It seems very reliable. I use one layer plus an extra layer for the valve area.

This tape cost more but it really was easy to install and once I added sealant it holds air well. I only had to go around the rim once. I will purchase again.
