How much gorilla tape you need for one rim?

Can someone share some info?

 

[pedro's kanabis]

Or how many pass do need to apply

 

[Jeremy]

1 is enough

Like he^ said.
Single wrap, but overlap the ends by maybe 4” centered over the valve hole.

I was able to cut mine in half and use both sides, so no waste. But my rims were normal size rims, not plus or fat.

How many pass did you do?

Sorry guys, i did not scroll up. Thanks for the quick response

When in doubt, geometry! Make your 10th grade math teacher proud.

C=2πr

C = circumference
r = radius

Add a few inches of overlap as suggested.

pi = 3.141592653589...

I go around 2X for good measure. The 2.5 grams of weight is worth the extra assurance. 😉

The whole roll

I've been using 1 pass with a bit of overlap for years and it works great.

Could you make a tire out of many layers of gorilla tape? Probably more than one roll but it wouldn’t flat 😉

I'd have to take a home equity loan for that much tape

got an idea, use some sort of tube filled with air so it won't take as much... 😀

Correct answer is zero. Get some velox, overlap at the valve hole. Like Pat says, use some sort of tube filled with air in your favorite tyre, pumpity pump so you don’t pinch, go ride.

Thanks for all your suggestions! Worked out pretty good with gorilla tape.
