It works great on Surly Other Brother Darryl Rims.

This tape is perfect for the 80mm Surly My other brother Daryl rims.The set-up/application of this tape was easy (I always use a Gorilla tape base first) and the tape Easily applied on the base layer. The Surly Nate tires seated nicely. The tires are holding air and rolling perfect.

After cleaning both SunRingle MuleFut and Surly Rims, I installed 3M reflective tape and then put this Rim Tape over the top. Used finger pressure to smooth out as I went and after wrapping, used a hair dryer to smooth out and press down to get rid of any creases or bubbles. Installed tubeless valves (Muc Off) and then put on tires, seated them with air pressure, removed valve core and put in sealant and inflated. No leaks anywhere. Fat Tire rims are notorious for leaks with the cutouts but the tape held perfect. Heard issues of folks not getting adhesion. No issues here. Simply clean your rims and put on slowly with pressure and you are good. Will use if I ever have to replace.

This tape has almost no stretch and therefore is a bad choice for Mulefut wheels as the spoke nuts stick up on the back side of the rim creating an uneven surface that results in wrinkles in the tape.I tried twice. Once before last Winter fatty season and again this weekend. This second time I found advice on youtube about cutting the edges off the hard plastic rim guard (covering the spoke nuts and weight-reducing rim cutouts) so that there was more exposed rim for the edges of the tape to adhere. There was at least 3/8" of exposed rim on each side. I cleaned it well with IPA and applied the tape and thought I had pretty decent contact. I put the tube in and pumped it up to 20psi with my 26x4.8" tires expecting this would apply the tape even better to the rim. I removed the tube and checked the edges and it still looked good. I pumped it up without the tube or sealant and it did not seem to be leaking air, still firm after ~15+ minutes. I added the sealant with an injector and did what my tubeless guru buddy calls shake-n-rotate, shaking the sealant around in the lowest part of the wheel, then rotating a few degrees and repeating for a full revolution of the wheel. After two revs of this I could hear hissing at the seam in the rim (opposite the valve stem), so did a few shake-n-rotates around that one area and it stopped. I let the wheel sit on each side on a bucket for 10 minutes to help make sure the bead sealed to the rim (which it did, no sealant at the bead). I thought I had it done. I left it over night and the next morning it was flat. When I pumped it up it immediately started hissing all over. I did more shake-n-rotate and it mostly stopped, but as I pumped it up further it started hissing and I noticed sealant coming out of all the unused spoke holes and rim cutouts all over (not just by the rim seam), so apparently a complete failure of the tape. That is what happened on my first attempt last year, only it happened immediately, I never thought I had a good setup.

After 9 punctures in two rides (stupid goat heads) this tape worked well on new Mulefut 80 rims following some tips found on this site and others. Cleaned rims well, used two wraps of Duck tape sticky side out, applied tubeless tape, inflated with tubes and let set overnight for good adhesion before going tubeless. So far, so good.My only complaint is that I ordered it thru Amazon and waited nearly 2 weeks before finding out it was never shipped. Ordered it from another company and got it in 3 days.

Easy to use and provided good sealing. I haven't even put in sealant yet and the tires hold air for over 10 days (filled to 15psi and dropped to 6-8 psi after 10+ days)

Fat bikes benefit greatly from tubeless, perhaps more so than any other type of bike. The Mulefut rims are the first relatively affordable fat bike rims that work really well tubeless. Mulefut rims have a fairly high bead seat and a fairly agressive bead lock lip. There are many way to make Mulefut rims tubeless but none is easier or more reliable than buying this tape. As the Mulefut rims have holes in the beat seat, you need tape that runs exactly bead to bead. This tape is the perfect width to cover the entire rim bead to bead and plug the holes in the bead seat without excess tape. Also, this tape won't absorb sealant like Gorilla tape and is much lighter than Gorilla tape. I set up my bike as tubeless fairly easily the first time using this tape and the SR rim strips. It was easy as far as tubeless conversions go. My advice: if you have Mulefut rims just pay for this tape, don't try something non-OEM. People may have moral qualms about paying $25 for 30 feet of tape but this stuff works really well and you're likely going to have problems if you try to use something else. Make it easy on yourself and buy the tape.
