X-Sauce Thick Tubeless Tape 40mm x 9m

This yellow tubeizing tape is thicker than the other black tape option. Both are made with the same material, therefore, the yellow one is the most resistant and durable option, although as it is thicker it adapts worse to rims with a deep central channel, which is why it is recommended to use it only on rims with a soft interior profile. . In the case of rims with a very marked or deep central channel, the use of black tape is recommended, which, being thinner, adapts better to the rim even though it is less durable. At the end of assembly, it is important to round the corners of the final end of the tape with scissors, in order to prevent it from coming off prematurely.

A trick or tip to ensure that our newly glued tape adheres correctly and lasts much longer is, after gluing the tape, first mount the wheel with a thin valve chamber for a few hours. The pressure of the tube inside the wheel and against the tape will optimize the adhesion of the tape itself to the rim. To finish the tubeling process, remove the tube and mount the valve with the tubeless tire.
