Schwalbe Tubeless

Excellent tape. Note: Is your bike in a cold shed? Then put your wheels inside overnight first. Otherwise the tape will not stick at all.

Pros & Cons

Top!

Good product easy to use.

Does what it's made for. Super

Pros & Cons

Had several types of tape but it was really easiest with this one.

Pros & Cons

Does its job well . Wheels are airtight at once

Pros & Cons

Top!

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do and conforms nicely to the rim.

Ideal for tubeless tires.

Pros & Cons

Does perfectly what it is supposed to do!

After much wrangling with 1 tire (Corsa Control TLR) on my rims with pre-installed tubeless tape (Vision trimax 35), I decided to purchase a roll anyway. 21mm for an internal rim width of 19mm. Since there was already a double layer of rim tape on it, just added one more round (With small overlap at the valve, which was a bit damaged). First cleaned the rim with some detergent and a sponge (Was also still under sealant), then with some alcohol the existing tape quickly over. Result was that the tire immediately held a lot of air, and I was able to pump it very gently until it tightened itself. No hassle with booster pump, CO2 cartridges, compressor etc needed. Disadvantage is that it is "only" 10m. Normally you would do 2 rounds anyway, but in my case it would probably be 3. So 1 roll would not be enough, even though it is not cheap stuff. In the future I might have to get one of those rolls of VESA tape.

Pros & Cons

Works well

Pros & Cons

Very pleasant product to use. Does what it promises, as long as you apply it correctly to your properly degreased rim.

Pros & Cons

It was the 1st time I made a rim tubeless myself. After putting tape on it the 4th time, finally airtight. It's probably more down to me, than the tape.

Pros & Cons

Adheres very well. Do clean the wheel well with sticker remover. Always buy 1 size larger than the inner size of the rim, as this length is as the crow flies and does not take into account the curve of the rim.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product. Have tried several tapes, with the cheaper ones not always working well. This tape was easy to fit and 100% tight.

Pros & Cons

Picked up a 25 mm one in the shop, 2 mm wider than my internal rim width. Width almost matches the tape that was in it from the factory. Watched several youtube videos before applying it, so was aware of the do's and dont's. I would not recommend the tape for several reasons. Firstly, the tape is not sticky at all (it shouldn't be too sticky either ivm removal). This complicates application and making the rim airtight, as well as forgiving when applying. In addition, the tape is also not very malleable, making it hard to fit tight enough on the rim and easily creating air bubbles under the tape. Ended up having to apply several times to get a somewhat acceptable result. Whole roll then goes through in no time. Worthless for the price you have to pay for it. Incidentally, I am not the only one who runs into this. The internet is full of similar experiences.

Pros & Cons

Rim degreased, 1 round of this Schwalbe tape and perfectly airtight. Bought 3 mm wider than my internal rim width - as recommended in other reviews here - and fit perfectly; but best to look it up beforehand. Application takes some technique and time (definitely Youtubing!) but quite doable even for a clumsy person like myself.

Pros & Cons

Never once did it cause problems

Pros & Cons

After watching several YouTube videos on how to attach this tape to the rim, it went pretty smoothly. Per Schwalbe video basically only 1x around rim, but per other videos still 2x around it and that's what I did. I did notice that the tape didn't particularly stick, but once the tape was completely on the rim, everything was fine.

Pros & Cons

I already had experience with making tubbeless but with different rim tape,which was difficult to form in the rim and stuck badly and wrinkled (original from FSA which came with the rims) But with this rim tape it went perfectly! I did this on a 19C rim with 25mm which fitted perfectly! Mounting it was easy, be careful at first and then with some patience put it in straight and press lightly. I did 1 round + about 20cm overlap. Then press it into shape. Put the tyre on and then inflated it with a Schwalbe booster. Then put in the sealant (total 40ml) and it sealed almost immediately. Bounced the rim for a while , spun it around and laid it flat , turned it over occasionally and rode it the next day. I am very satisfied with this tape!

Pros & Cons

Ordered size too small. Start from the inside rim width, and add 2-4mm. Then you'll have the right width rim tape. I had gone for the same width as my rim, only it didn't stick properly. Had to go over it again with insulating tape to make it airtight. Tip to first stick a layer of insulating tape in the middle and then the rim tape on top. This ensures better adhesion.

Pros & Cons

Just a great product, good value for money

Pros & Cons

The tape sticks well. And it has more than enough length to make two 29-inch wheels tubeless.

Pros & Cons

convenient to use, sticks well and seals well. that's all it needs to be!

Pros & Cons

This tape is easy to apply, though you need to degrease the rim very well.

Pros & Cons

Adheres well and is easy to attach. Tip: Watch on youtube how to use schwalbe tubeless tape!

Pros & Cons

It was a bit of a struggle with the first rim. My advice, order 2mm wider than the inner size of your rim. This allows the tape to conform better to the rim. Don't press too hard, the latex seals leaks. Degrease the rim well, because the take does not stick very much by itself.

Pros & Cons

Have Carbon rim, was challenge to get it airtight with this tape.

Pros & Cons

Strong tape that follows the contours of the rim well for tight airtight mounting of tubeless tyres. Roll is large enough for two rims.

Pros & Cons

Worthless, does not stick at all. After mantle fixed it properly and gave me a second one, the second one does not stick either. Don't buy it, it will save you some time. The tape is not sealed but in a zip bag.

Pros & Cons

Great material to work with only got myn rims difficult to air seal. As a result, I had to apply a second layer. Unfortunately I ran out of length on the second rim. Maybe it's because of my rim but it's faded when you get blocked, so order a second one just to be sure.

Pros & Cons

Very sturdy and easy to fit wheel base I would recommend this product

Pros & Cons

Works great and can recommend it to everyone to use this tape for your tubeless tyres.

Pros & Cons

The tape sticks well and feels strong. The tape is quite stiff, though, so a bit of patience is needed to stick it neatly into the rim without bubbles.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product for tubeless enthusiasts

Rim tape feels strong, and if you apply it properly under tension, it's instantly secure. Tip from Tim; don't poke a hole for the valve. But instead, make a head of a nail or screw, of the right size, red hot with a blowtorch and then "burn" a hole for the valve in the tape.

Pros & Cons

truly quality

Made my rims perfectly tubeless with this. (For 15mm rim width not a bit too wide actually, had to stick very accurately)

Pros & Cons

Difficult to get to stick at first

Pros & Cons

Good tape, 29 mm fits for my DT SWISS 1501 Spline XM rims.

Easy to apply rim tape, seals 100%. Apply once and then tyre on and inflate, done. Very nice.

It adheres perfectly to the channel, very good.

The old broken ribbon (different brand) was not easy to remove. Then cleaned the rim well. Despite residue present, the new ribbon was easy to fit and fit well. It is definitely recommended to watch the instructions and advice from Schwalbe on YouTube beforehand; Determine the right width, start opposite the valve, overlap by 20cm, apply up to the hole for the valve.

Pros & Cons

Rim strip, put a lining of it on your rims and you are good to go. It's that simple. Firm, tacky but simple to apply and good adherence.

Went for this particular tape because of the many widths it is made in, (saves any trimming) as you would expect from Schwalbe it is top quality.
