Ideally needed before the weekend so I can run tubeless. No stock at CRC. Any ideas where might have stock? Thank you.

If 45mm would be ok, or you trim 75mm.

Usually gorilla clear is a pain because it only comes in 48mm. Win!

Having said that, full width tape isn't necessarily the best option with a wide rim. With my wide carbonz and my i35s I used a narrower tape that only covers the "well" of the rim. The reason I do that is that sometimes, when you change a tyre, if the tape goes out to the edge the tyre can take it off with it and you end up with rumpled tape. If you only tape the middle, that can't happen because the tyre doesn't sit on the rim.

Screwfix do 50mm PVC (electrical) tape which works.

Ann Summers sell some suitable tape too (allegedly).
