The two I know of are Specialized 2Bliss Ready Rim Strip and the Newmen Tubeless Strip, which is supposedly better. If I had known this before taping my first tubeless wheel, I would have saved myself a lot of time and trouble. | |

If there’s no tape under the bead, you are solely relying on the adhesive to stop the wheel from leaking. Tolerances also mean that one may need tape under the bead to build up the rim diameter slightly for a better seal. | |
