Buy the $25 tape, your time is worth it
Fat bikes benefit greatly from tubeless, perhaps more so than any other type of bike. The Mulefut rims are the first relatively affordable fat bike rims that work really well tubeless. Mulefut rims have a fairly high bead seat and a fairly agressive bead lock lip. There are many way to make Mulefut rims tubeless but none is easier or more reliable than buying this tape. As the Mulefut rims have holes in the beat seat, you need tape that runs exactly bead to bead. This tape is the perfect width to cover the entire rim bead to bead and plug the holes in the bead seat without excess tape. Also, this tape won't absorb sealant like Gorilla tape and is much lighter than Gorilla tape. I set up my bike as tubeless fairly easily the first time using this tape and the SR rim strips. It was easy as far as tubeless conversions go. My advice: if you have Mulefut rims just pay for this tape, don't try something non-OEM. People may have moral qualms about paying $25 for 30 feet of tape but this stuff works really well and you're likely going to have problems if you try to use something else. Make it easy on yourself and buy the tape.

This tape is perfect for the 80mm Surly My other brother Daryl rims.The set-up/application of this tape was easy (I always use a Gorilla tape base first) and the tape Easily applied on the base layer. The Surly Nate tires seated nicely. The tires are holding air and rolling perfect.

Perfect fit for Sun Ringle 80mm rims
Easy to use and provided good sealing. I haven't even put in sealant yet and the tires hold air for over 10 days (filled to 15psi and dropped to 6-8 psi after 10+ days)

Worked well when following tips and tricks.
After 9 punctures in two rides (stupid goat heads) this tape worked well on new Mulefut 80 rims following some tips found on this site and others. Cleaned rims well, used two wraps of Duck tape sticky side out, applied tubeless tape, inflated with tubes and let set overnight for good adhesion before going tubeless. So far, so good.My only complaint is that I ordered it thru Amazon and waited nearly 2 weeks before finding out it was never shipped. Ordered it from another company and got it in 3 days.

trash on its own dont forget electrical tape
doesn't work tried twice even following the instruction card this is over priced trash and represents the SUN company wellproblem- it is it not sticky enough to hold so it will fail and leak out your rim stripthe fix? a new roll of electrical tape(yeah i used an old roll at first and had to redo it all) ONE layer over this sun tape, only time you should cut it is at the end when you're done fully wrapped no sun tape should be showing when done. remember when laying it down is overlap HALF of it and stretching it out as you go keep it taut worked perfect. no air leaks or bubbling from tire sealant holding 17psi rim strip isn't bulged out either very minimal if any
