I’m of the gorilla tape method.(homebase stock the 1″ roll, £3) I do 3 rounds of electricians tape, this helps to cover the spoke holes and one round of gorilla tape. I’ve found that I was really glad that I had used electricians tape when I retaped recently because taking the gorilla tape leaves a sticky mess. So without the electricians tape the sticky mess would have been all over my rim and would have been a darn site harder than just ripping off some electricians tape.
Also I used old an old valve last time but used a proper stans valve this time and it sealed much better and quicker around the valve, which is the weakest part of the job.
