• I read that you're supposed to use tubeless tape that is a bit wider than the rim internal width. Is this so the bead sits on the tape?

    I've stupidly not read this before buying some tape. I have 23mm tape and 23mm rims. Do I need to reorder tape around 26mm? Still waiting for my valves to arrive and haven't got a tubeless pump or any fluid so no rush.

  • It's cos the bead isn't flat and that makes it wider than the straight wall to wall measurement.
