absoluteBLACK, renowned for its innovative cycling components, has ventured into the tubeless rim tape market with the introduction of its Polyimide Tubeless Rim Tape, specifically designed for carbon rims. This transparent tape aims to simplify the installation process and ensure a consistent, reliable seal.
Key Features:
-
Material Composition: Crafted from engineering-grade polyimide, the tape offers exceptional strength and stability. Its 100-micron thickness allows it to conform precisely to the rim bed, while a controlled level of elasticity ensures it settles into place without lifting.

Transparency: The clear, amber-colored tape lacks logos or graphics, facilitating the detection of imperfections and air bubbles during installation. This transparency aids in achieving a flawless seal by allowing for immediate correction of any issues.
-
Adhesive Quality: Equipped with a high-tack adhesive tailored for high-pressure applications and carbon rims, the tape’s thicker adhesive layer enhances compliance. This design enables it to adapt to varying rim shapes and profiles, improving contact and seal consistency.
