Simply the best.
When creating our tubeless tape, we experimented with over 10 different materials in combination with multiple adhesives. The result from this testing is what we believe to be hands-down the best tubeless tape on the market. The material we landed on is more durable and tear-resistant than many of the materials that our competitors use and our tape only requires one wrap around the rim (with an overlap around the valve hole) for optimal performance. In addition to this, we've applied a tacky adhesive which keeps the tape in place during installation and prevents the tape from moving around when mounting tires.
Slow air leaks that eventually cause flat tires are generally the fault of the tape (unless the sealant is at an insufficient level/dried up, the tires are dry-rotted, or the tires have a puncture slightly too big for the sealant to hold). During development, we found that certain tape materials were more likely to have problems which could lead to minor air leaks. The solution we landed on has been rock-solid in testing, as well as real-world conditions, and we couldn't be more pleased.
Since the tape's width is crucial to its performance, we offer widths from 20mm-38mm, in 2mm increments. We recommend that you select a tape width which is 3-4mm wider than the internal width of your rim. For installation instructions, please see our Resources page.
Overview:
- Lightweight and durable
- Conforms to the profile of the rim
- Ideal balance between compliance and strength
- Tacky adhesive keeps tape in place and assists installation
- 10 meter long roll (enough to wrap four 700C (29") rims)
Customer Reviews
I just put the Scaler Wheel Tape on for the first time and was welcomely surprised by how easy it went on. There was no slipping and it formed to the wheel perfectly. It was a satisfying experience which always feels good when trying to work on your own bikes in the garage.
Professional mechanic here. We use a lot of tubeless tape in our service department and we recently switched over to using the Scaler tape almost exclusively. All the mechanics here prefer it over the other brands we've tried. It's more adhesive, and has a bit of stretch compared to other brands so it lays down nicely without creases or wrinkles that could become pathways for sealant. The tape is also slightly thicker than other brands so one layer of tape is usually all we need. Give this stuff a try.
I personally enjoy how simple it is! It has great stickyness and thickness. Works well with Cush core, and have yet to tear on any tire install so far. I work in the industry and I will only be running Scalar from now on!
Would definitely recommend for any mechanic or rider to add this tape to their tool box!
I've been a mobile bicycle mechanic for 8 years and have tried/used over 15 brands of tubeless tape. I settled on a "yellow" brand and it was the best. However was thick and not very grippy/sticky when putting new tape on an already taped wheel. I work a lot of MTB/Gravel/Road/Tri races and other tapes pull apart on the rim. So, gave Scalar a try with a high powered/pro gravel racer customer's wheels and... my oh my this is the best tape I've found. Time to order multiple more rolls!
