How to choose rim tape for MTB wheels?

Which rim tape for my wheels?

There are few factors to consider when making your choice: simply check the wheel diameter and the internal width of your rim to ensure it covers it properly.

Reminder: if you have a Tubeless wheel, as the bed is already perfectly smooth, there is no need to use rim tape, even if you temporarily opt for an inner tube setup.
