I can think of three people in this thread who should just get new road bikes. (I’m one of them.)

I hope it’s not me, because I already have a CAAD 10 f&f that’s just been sitting in a box for about five years now.

The most sensible thing to do in this situation is to start a tarckbear tubeless rim goup buy.

Hey Todd. We have been using Gorilla Tape in MTB wheels and it’s been working well. If you pull slowly there’s less residue left on the rim, but this can be wiped away with acetone on a rag real easy. The good thing about Gorilla Tape is the price and it does a good job ( with limitations ) but one issue we have had with Gorilla tape is that it does lift and shift if you are fitting and removing tight tyres often. This is why we are developing our own rim tape. I Would be really interested in hearing from folks about what they look for in a rim tape and what they have found to work really well. I am from an MTB background so any knowledge from other backgrounds would be brill. Cheers Jon

Thanks for the mic drop, newb. Get thee to the FNG thread for some mild hazing and so we can see your bikes.
