TL rim tape has adhesive backing so if it is stuck fast then its TL ready as SW say's ignore Halfrauds.

Tape is not stuck to rim. It is easy to peel it aside and see the spoke holes where there is a deepish recess down the spokes . So I will need to take that off and replace with the sticky stuff. Seen youtube vids how to do it and it looks easy enough..

no there not the same but i cant find any info on them rims.

if you tape them up you should still get a seal tho but might find high and low psi causes problems with the tyre staying on the rim.

prob best stick with tubes then ;(

even tho my rims are tl ready i can still rip them off the rim if the psi is to low on the rear going round corners.

tho not had a problem since i put the sg tire on the rear with lot thicker side walls.
