• That type of thing often happens with overly enthusiastic pumping (or pumphead removal)

    That blue rim tape does look fucked though. Is it not sticky? I've only ever had mine move side to side, not bunch up like that.

    It could be, if the rim tape is moving forward and backward it's cut into the valve stem.

  • I always used Velox tape. Since starting to use tubeless on dirt wheels I've started using Tesa tape for tubed rims as well (since I have a load of it). I'd definitely look for adhesive tape. I have a couple of non-sticky Schwalbe rim strips that are meant to be ok but I've not used them so can't say either way if they'll work. Could send you one of those if you wanna try it? Road rims?
