Two weeks ago I finally went tubeless and has been slowly leaking as kinda expected the first few weeks, right?
Last week I removed the valve cores to add Stan's to to my tires. One was leaking worse afterwards so today I checked and it was leaking at the valve. I looked inside and the rim tape is cut/torn right at the valve. I am pretty sure I over-tightened the core and the whole valve spun (don't even ask).
I really do not want to re-tape the whole wheel; everything is covered in Stan's and there is a good 1/4 cup in the tire. I'll hate life by the time that is all clean.
The question is: Can I just clean around the valve and put two more layers of tape or do I need to remove the damaged tape around the valve (to avoid having the torn mess next to the valve).
