Ideal for riders setting up or retaping wide tubeless-ready road, gravel or MTB wheels who want an easier install and a clean seal on modern rims.
The Muc-Off Tubeless Rim Tape is a simple upgrade for riders who want a dependable tubeless seal without fighting the install. In this 35 mm x 10 metre version, it’s aimed squarely at DH and enduro-width rims, with enough tape on the roll for up to 4 applications and 4 seal patches in the box. The tape is built to stretch into the contour of the rim bed, which helps it sit flat and seal spoke holes cleanly on both aluminium and carbon rims.
Where this tape stands out is ease of fitting. The semi-transparent finish makes finding the valve hole much easier, and the tacky adhesive gives you a good chance of getting a smooth first wrap if the rim bed is properly cleaned first. In workshop use and long-term testing, it’s been praised for fitting neatly into awkward rim shapes, sealing effectively with a single wrap in many setups, and staying intact through repeated tyre swaps.
For buyers, the main decision is sizing. This 35 mm option is the one to choose for wide tubeless-ready rims where a narrower tape won’t fully cover the bed. As with any tubeless tape, matching the width to your internal rim width matters: if your rim sits between sizes, going up is the safer call. If you want a bright, easy-to-handle tape that suits modern wide wheels and gives you enough length for multiple wheels, this is a smart pick.
35 mm width for wide rims
Best suited to modern DH, enduro and other wide tubeless-ready rims where full spoke-hole coverage matters.
10 metre roll
Gives you enough tape for multiple wheel builds or retapes, so one roll can cover several setups.
Pressure-sensitive adhesive
Designed to bond tightly to the rim bed for a dependable airtight seal once the surface is properly prepped.
Semi-transparent finish
Makes the valve hole easier to locate, which speeds up setup and helps keep the job tidy.
Engineered stretch
Pulls down neatly into the rim profile so it can conform to centre channels and contours more easily during installation.
PET top layer
Adds strength and durability so the tape copes well with tyre changes and regular workshop handling.
Four seal patches included
Lets you finish the overlap neatly and helps tidy up the join point at the end of the wrap.

What's included
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive
This adhesive helps the tape bond tightly to the rim for a dependable air-tight seal that stays put once installed.
Semi-Transparent Tape
The see-through finish makes it much easier to find the valve hole, so setup is quicker and cleaner.
Engineered Stretch
The tape has enough stretch to stay under tension during installation and sit neatly into the rim bed for a secure fit.
PET Top Layer
The PET top layer adds strength without unnecessary bulk, so you get durable rim tape that stays light.
Seal Patches
The included seal patches finish the overlap neatly and help lock in a consistent seal at the join.
Great for
Maybe not for
This 35 mm version suits wide rims. Match tape width to the wheel’s internal rim width; if your rim falls between sizes, go up to the next size. Apply only to a clean, smooth rim bed, and for best results use it on rims specifically labelled tubeless-ready or tubeless-compatible.
vs DT Swiss Tubeless Ready Tape
A strong alternative if you want a no-fuss workshop staple from a wheel specialist. DT Swiss focuses on secure adhesion and straightforward mounting, while Muc-Off adds a semi-transparent finish and included seal patches.
vs Schwalbe Tubeless Rim Tape
Schwalbe is a good option for riders prioritising high-pressure use and established tubeless setup guidance. Muc-Off feels like the easier shopper choice if you want a more visible tape and a more forgiving fit into rim contours.
vs Stan’s Original Tubeless Rim Tape
Stan’s remains one of the benchmark names in tubeless and offers plenty of size options. Muc-Off’s advantage is the more visible tape finish and a user-friendly feel during application, while Stan’s is a natural pick for riders already committed to the Stan’s system.
Choose width by internal rim width, not tyre size
The tape needs to fully cover the spoke holes and sit neatly in the rim bed without climbing too far up the sidewalls. For this model, 35 mm is the right call for genuinely wide rims, not just wide tyres.
Clean prep matters more than brand
Before taping, remove old adhesive, sealant residue and grease completely. A clean rim bed gives the adhesive the best chance of bonding properly and avoids bubbles or lifted edges later on.
Best on tubeless-ready rims
This tape is a sealing layer, not a magic fix for every wheel. If your rim isn’t designed for tubeless use, tape alone may still leave you with difficult inflation or an unreliable bead fit.
One smooth, tight wrap is the goal
In many real setups a single wrap is enough, provided the tape is pulled on firmly and laid down without wrinkles. If you’re chasing easier inflation on a tricky rim, some mechanics still add a second layer depending on the wheel.
Muc-Off is a British cycling and motorcycle care brand that began after Rex and Marilyn Trimnell started X-Lite UK in 1991. After Rex developed a pink bike cleaner to maintain his own kit, that product became the foundation of Muc-Off, and the company was formally established in 1994.
The brand has grown from bike cleaning products into a broader range that includes lubes, tubeless products, tools, pressure washers and athlete performance items. Muc-Off develops products through in-house research and testing, and it supports athletes and teams across road, mountain bike and motorsport competition.
