Tech Tuesday: Tubeless Tire Setup 101
Almost, start about 10 cm before the valve and finish 10 cm after the valve. for 2 reasons:
- if you f*ck up somehow one layer while filing the excess on the hole you got a backup (only file inward)
- if for some reason the rim or outside of the tape is greasy the tape will loosen and then the valve will hold it together and keep tension on the whole rim.
Also press slightly on the butt of the valve while tightening the valve nut. A too loose valve will turn while unscrewing the valve end if needed.
And while installing the tape move slightly left-right while pulling. This will make the tape touch the rim bed much easier
