Suggestions - tubeless tape
It’s time to re-tape some wheels. I’ve always used Stan’s but never been real happy with it.
What tape are you using that you’re happy with? Are any made that have some tackiness to ‘em? Not looking for home brew set-ups like gorilla tape. I don’t want to be pondering the state of my tubeless set-up bombing down a gravel descent at speed.

Stan's on all my wheels. Even use it as rim tape on my non-tubeless wheels. I tried Gorilla tape and it worked but it's thicker and imo, made mounting the tire harder.
I spend a lot of time cleaning my rims with alcohol and rags before replacing tape. The only issues I had with Stan's is when I didn't clean well enough or used the wrong width.

My favorite tape is Tesa Tape. I found it on Ebay. Jerry from Next Wheels (forum sponsor) turned me on to this stuff after I complained about Stans. Excellent stuff!

I have limited experience with it, but it goes on easier than Stan's and Scotch 8898, and stays where I put it. I make a cut after the first layer, and add a second strip which makes a retaping easier, if I need to. After a sidewall tear on my tubeless Pirelli (they suck), I was pleased to see no sealant had broken the seal of the second layer.

Either 3m or Scotch brand from ebay..LOTS cheaper than the bike branded stuff and essentially, the same thing.

3m 8898 strapping tape. You're gonna save 50g per wheel over gorilla tape... And that's 50g where it matters.

As someone mentioned, the key is to pull it as tight as possible when wrapping the rim. Worked very bit as well as Stan’s ( I believe better ) at far less cost.

Same as experience for me. A key for me was to degrease the rim bed with acetone first since there is always a little oil from building the wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stan’s and 3M user here. Gorilla is terrible.
I get mine here. I also use their sealant so order them at the same time. https://www.truckerco.com/product-pa...m-x-50m-roll-1
